Absolutely fantastic. I think I might like this one more than I liked Children of Time.
Without spoilers, I'll say this book treads much darker than its predecessor, which I was happy with. Its themes were either built upon from the first book or totally new. I think Children of Ruin left me with more to think about, but I'm a big fan of cosmic horror, and this book dips its toes directly into that.
