I’ve not read this author yet so perhaps this could be a good starting point. I love the sound of this one.

Hopefully, Salvatore branches off in a new direction. Drizzt is great for some light swashbuckling action, but it would be nice to see him do something with a different tone. 🙂

Well, at least it’s not a Forgotten Realms or Star Wars book, right?
Actually, I don’t know that I’ve ever read anything by him that wasn’t in either of those two franchises…

I did years ago, but I don’t recall the name of the book right this second. Lets hope CHILD OF A MAD GOD is different. Sounds like a new direction for Salvatore, so I’m willing to give it a go, wish for the best. 🙂

This is an author whose name I’ve seen mentioned often, but I’ve never read anything by him. This might very well be my… entry level book 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
