The White Wolf

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

“And so I’ve finished my journey with Elric, it still excites me when I was reading it. And the three books are very enjoyable even when Moorcock gets lost in his own multiverse. The Dreamthief’s Daughter is very good, and the pulpiest of the three, it’s clear that Moorcock had a lot of fun writing it, it’s the closest to the previous Elric books and the most to one of his adventures. The Skayling Tree for me it’s the weakest of three even when there are some fun interesting bits, specially in the first and second parts of the book, but it gets lost with the multiverse part and kind of looses the plot. The last book, The White Wolf’s Son is a strong contender for being the best in this volume, I found very enjoyable and even fun, I believe haven’t read more of Moorcock helped to make things exciting for me, there is just one plot element I’m still trying to get my head around. Overall it’s obviously the most concise of the three volumes because it’s was actually written to be a trilogy and one follows the other, and the characters introduced here, or at least I first read them here are great and villains are deliciously evil. I’m sad that my Elric journey has ended, but I can always retrace it and obviously explore the vast and mad Moorcock universe, I got my eyes on you Corum.”

“Three Elric books were collected in this volume. My favorite by far was the first, set in Nazi Germany and incorporating the magic and craziness that is the characters and concepts of Melnibone and Moorcock’s multiverse. The first story was wonderful on its own but the second and third tie up the remaining threads beautifully. The only thing that could have made the audiobook better is having a second narrator for the sections with the female protagonists’ perspectives. It was very jarring hearing their stories in the same voice I’ve come to associate with Elric.”

“Let me steal this quote "Elric is far and away the coolest, grimmest, moodiest, most elegant, degenerate, drug addicted, cursed, twisted, and emotionally weird mass murderer of them all" And I agree with that statement, but in this volume in particular its not Elric that is the main star but his offspring. The book is definitely different from the previous ones, but that's not a bad thing. However, I would recommend slow intake, because the mountain of new information and courses of action can be confusing. Other than that this is another masterpiece of Moorcock. 4.5/5”
