This one moved along quicker than the first book. It got a little repetitive with Corum using his special eye to summon one monster to fight the next and then summoning that one to fight the next etc... Jhary and the cat were the best characters in this very linear, swords & sorcery adventure. Nothing really blew me away, but it was kind of fun and nostalgic.

An excellent 2nd volume in the tales of Corum, in which Moorcock's cosmology of Law, Chaos, and the Balance between them is more fully fleshed out as Corum takes the war to Chaos . . .

Leído el primero, leído el segundo.
Si el primero de la trilogía fue una sorpresa y me trajo gratos recuerdos, este segundo pierde estos dos factores. Simplemente es más de lo mismo. Mismo patrón, mismo problema y misma resolución. El tercero lo leeré, ya que son cortitos, pero no por ahora.
