The Queen of Bedlam by Robert R. McCammon
5.0
For most of us, very few good things have happened in 2020. For me, one of the best things to happen this year was the discovery of [a:Robert R. McCammon|5244478|Robert R.

McCammon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1445981000l/11557._SY75_.jpg|2947187], then moved on to [b:Speaks the Nightbird|1525997|Speaks the Nightbird (Matthew Corbett, #1)|Robert R.

McCammon has hit a comfortable 3/3, as I thought all three worth a solid 5 stars. I may, in fact, have found a new author to add to my list of favourites. I may be a little late to the party, but boy am I glad to be here!
This book is the sequel to [b:Speaks the Nightbird|1525997|Speaks the Nightbird (Matthew Corbett, #1)|Robert R. McCammon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442931227l/1525997._SY75_.jpg|16692325], though it's not strictly necessary (but definitely very much encouraged) to read that first. If the rest of the series is going to pan out as it promises to do here, it's a series in that it follows the same protagonist, and the books take place in a certain chronological order, but are each individual adventures that could stand alone, such as [a:Bernard Cornwell|12542|Bernard Cornwell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1504578807p2/12542.jpg]'s Sharpe books, for example.
Either way, it's a great read!
