I've read other Michael Moorcock novel, and thought I would like this one, but I found The Skrayling Tree impossible to get into. I like a little complexity in my novels, but this one became convoluted and so hard to understand that I just gave up after a while. There was so much theoretical discussion about multiverses and balance and chaos, but not much emphasis on plot, and as a result this story suffered immensely. I didn't find any of the characters interesting. The one part that piqued my interest is when the characters went into Niffleheim, since I am a big fan of Norse mythology, but my interest quickly faded. Mostly I just wanted the book to end and I surprised myself by trudging through the finish line. Not an enjoyable read.
