I read Children of Ruin last month. I haven't finished Children of Time (though I should finish it tomorrow). Children of Ruin is it’s own story. Some characters from Children of Time do appear in Children of Ruin, but not until later in the story. I didn’t have any issues understanding Children of Ruin without reading Children of Time first.

Can anyone who has already read both comment on how safe/sane/... it is to just read this one without reading Children of Time? These are both monster books; I'm torn between falling-into-the-middle-with-no-idea-wtf-is-going-on and committing a large chunk of time to playing catchup.
