The Vanishing Tower is where the divergent pieces of Elric's saga are weaved into a single tale; the saga of Elric's dealings with Melnibon?, his homeland, related in books one and three, and the saga of his journeys through the Young Kingdoms (as Melnibon?ans call the rest of the world), related in book two, come together in book four.

But that's to be expected when one's antihero has a crisis of conscience. Certainly not a slow book by any means, nor a weak one in the context of the series. And it's definitely a necessity as a prelude to what comes after it.
