The Crystal City by Orson Scott Card

Oh look finally some things happen.
Overall, I don't need to read these ever again. I liked the characters, but there got to be too many of them so that people you liked just disappeared eventually. Too many books were hung up sitting in jails and courtrooms and too much time was spend with people chatting idly about each other's grammar. There are only so many times "HYUK I AM A BUMPKIN WHAT KIN TALK GOOD ENGLISH WHEN I'VE A MIND TO" can be amusing. Started to sound like an English major's screed.
Anyhow, I actually own the first two books. I think they shall head off to the secondhand bookseller's.
