5 stars

This is the first book in a project to read as much of the Eternal Champion saga as I can. Some is a reread but much of it I have never read.

This is really my kind of sword and sorcerery. Brooding, tragic anti-hero; weird landscapes and artifacts; escalating deals with devils. I dig it all and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this book I hadn't touched in 40 years.

Qui ne connaît pas l'albinos le plus célèbre de la fantasy ? Dans ce premier tome, il est empereur de Menilboné aux prises avec un cousin ambitieux. C'est plus ou moins mou, mais la conclusion le voit tirer Stormbringer, et le souffle épique de cette saga entre enfin dans les pages de cette histoire !
