Super Reader

Another important installment of the Eternal Champion series, and the third book in the first Corum trilogy. Corum Jhaelen Irsei, ever resourceful, has taken out the Queen of the Swords, and now has to face the most powerful of this suit, the King. He is most definitely not without help and resources, as here, he joins to become the ultra-hero Three-Who-Are-One, with both Elric and Erekose.

Elric I love, but Corum is better...

I picked up this book at a book sale because it was by Michael Moorcock, writer of the Elric 'saga'. I read it and found myself completely entwined in this other similar yet totally different series about Law vs. Chaos. The ending made me laugh, the characters were as beautiful as anything in all of Elric, and one of the parts relates (perfectly) to part in another Elric book... Sailor on the Seas of Fate, I think. Beautiful. I love it all...
