A great book that makes me want to listen to all of Orson Scott Cards books all over again. What a world he he has created.

love this series
contrary to the other review, I am not American but I still really enjoy this series. I feel like there was always meant to be another book that comes out after crystal city that hasn't come yet though. great journey nonetheless!

Unusual and wonderful story
I really liked the characters in this book. I don’t want it to end. A fantasy set in the frontier a beautiful story. Buy the book

Eh
More Christians vs witches, I think this is a theme I'm just tired of. The story wasn't badly written, the characters were mostly easy to like, the witchcraft aspect was kind of neat but I was board. I didn't really care. I cringed at how obvious certain characters were blindly influenced and the role faith plays in stories in like this. I've just had enough of it.

Worst OSC I've read/listened to
Very few likeable characters. Story with no appeal outside America. Very disappointing. Not worth buying.
