Editorial Reviews

Moorcock's novel is fantasy of the high kind: faraway and long ago and weirder than you expect it to be…As the first in a series, the book has a lot of track to lay, and Moorcock does it ably, giving depth with a litany of names, variants, lore, adding in the color and shading until he achieves a kind of faraway, never-ever quality to the fantasy.

The New York Times Book Review - Charles Yu

"Corum’s story spans multiple planes of existence and includes gods, demigods, and elements of older flavor of mythic fantasy." - Barnes & Noble

"Despite the new races, strange names, and exotic locations it is incredibly easy to be swept away into the adventure." - Portland Book Review
