Sean Randall reviewed Children of chaos by Dave Duncan (Tor fantasy)
Review of 'Children of chaos' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
An excellently crafted opener in Duncan's remarkable style. Benad, Orlard and Frena are all vividly painted and styled so distinctly and differently that any concerns that you might confuse them are instantly dispelled.
The witnesses are very cleverly done; I like the semantics and sheer gall they employ, although Mist's apostasy seems radical given the milieu. Still, a minor niggle in a very well paced and intriguing series of intrigue and I'm eagerly looking forward to the next.
I have decided to prolong the wait by starting my next Duncan Duology before following up with the Dodec conclusion!
