finally, I'm highly dubious of the merits of reviewing the third book in a trilogy without reading the previous two volumes. What exactly was the point of this?
-------------------------------

Why was this book reviewed without the other two books?

1) I submitted a request with the powers that run RPG.net's review database, I didn't see any indication that it was third of the trilogy, just "Chaos Child." Looked at the cover art at the Black Library online, it didn't say one way or another (just the back cover text quoted) and the displayed cover the "book three" wasn't visible.

2) I received the book with another Warhammer book, and decided to finish the other one first. (I didn't know how long it was going to take me to read Chaos Child. I seem to take a while to read through the WH40K books.)

3) I didn't want to spend $13 just so I could review this book, plus I had only 90 days to finish it. (It took 6 to 7 weeks to get through Chaos Child.)

There are some of the reasons; hopefully that clarifies it for you.
