Blase. Hawkmoon isn't as likable as Corum, not nearly as ultra-tragic as Elric, and the adventures aren't as original or interesting as Bastable's. He never meets any other incarnations of the Eternal Warrior[Brass doesn't count imo], and at the last, he has the gall to not die. I mean, come on!
Great book and a greater author. These books can be hardly found in your local Barnes & Nobles but are excellent. This is high fantasy, with a dark undertone, at its best.
