The Weird of the White Wolf 3 (Weird of the White Wolf)

This was the weakest of the novels in first collected volume (by Saga Press). And no wonder, these novellas were written even before The Elric of Melniboné and only later given structure and novelization in the form of The Weird of the White Wolf. Btw, where was that weird exactly?
The Sailor on the Seas of Fate had a lot more foreshadowing than this.

This Elric also behaved differently than the Elric in previous two novels which I liked. And I mean since the beginning. I'd understand the change in tone after the tragedy that befalls him at the end of part one but he's different from the beginning. But hey, at least there was no nonsensical post-modernist crap with the villain like in the first novel.
