Child of a Mad God is a science fiction and fantasy novel. It is the first volume of The Coven novel series. The book and the mentioned series are written by R. A. Salvatore. He is a renowned and highly appreciated author for the fantasy stories that he writes. You will be in awe of the author after trying his Exile novel. His The Companions novel is also worthy of being mentioned here.
The audio narration of this novel is done by Tim Gerard Reynolds. He is a very reliable narrator and has given many hit audio novels. People loved him for his superb performance in this Child of a Mad God as well. The time when Aoleyn lost her parents was when she was left all alone in this world to fend herself. She was living among a tribe of some malicious barbarians and life there, especially without parents was really tough and horrible. She was bound by many rigid kinds of traditions. She always use to think about escaping from the painful life that is well beyond her home in the mountains.
The only hope to make such a freedom dream a reality was to search about how to exercise the mysterious powers. Those special powers were used by the coven of the tribe who was identified as the Song of Sugar. Aoleyn thankfully might be quite the strong witch who had ever lived, but, magic is something that always comes at a definite price.
This is a good novel but certainly not among the best titles of Salvatore. He has written much better than this. You will love the narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds a lot though.
