The second book in the second of The Corum series. Corum was my first introduction to the writing ofMichael Moorcock and these stories remain some of my favourites. Moorcock play fast and loose with Irish myth and legend but the result is a fun and fast paced read.
I read the first book The Bull and the Spear during the summer. This sequel take up a few month after the last one finishes. Corum meets old friends and encounters old enemies, goes on perilous journeys, survives arduous sieges and retrieves mythical items. More of the same really but Moorcock's style and pace makes up for any shortcomings in the plot.
