RaveB&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy BlogChild of a Mad God is an ideal entry point for the curious. You really don’t need to know anything about the setting or the events of the other books in order to enjoy this one. What you will need is a bit of nerve, because Corona is far from gentle, and the story he spins here goes to its darkest corners ... There is gruesome, bloody action here that will provoke even the most hardened grimdark fan, but there’s real storytelling purpose behind all of it. For longtime fans, it’s an excellent entry in a popular universe. For newcomers, it’s a perfect opportunity to find out what all the fuss is about.
