Although Moorcock established his unique voice and style with his first two Elric novels— The Stealer of Souls (1963)and Stormbringer (1965), the first chronicles of Dorian Hawkmoon, which consist of The Jewel in the Skull (1967), The Mad God’s Amulet (1968), The Sword of Dawn (1968), and The Runestaff (1969), seem more polished and better organized.

The novel is a pleasure to read; primarily, because Moorcock’s prose is articulate, fluid, inventive and descriptive. He maintains a consistent point of view throughout and he paces his plot with precision. In fact, in my opinion, no one describes medieval battle scenes like he does; as you read the work he conveys a sense of huge armies moving on a broad field through the use of minimalist-like touches of evocative language. Note in the following passage the painterly way in which Moorcock describes the coming battle of the Kamarg: “It was like a vast legion out of hell, moving slowly southward, battalion upon battalion of marching infantry, squadron after squadron of cavalry, every man masked so that it seemed that the entire animal kingdom marched against Kamarg.”
