Ratings and reviews

But this book lacks a understandable plot...while the message of the story is clear, it is hard for the reader to decipher it. Like we know Card, he incorporates certain aspects of his life and family history into this book. We believe that the idea of friendship with Native Americans in the story derives from his grandparents, who were Mormon pioneers. I would not recommend this book to people who want to find a good book to read that is worth reading. Even though It still kept me paying attention, it was far from satisfying.

More spread out than Seventh Son, but enjoyable all the same.

I loved this book too. Great follow up to book 1.
