brinnet 's review for:

Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card
4.0

This book had a slow start for me, partially based on the frontier language, and partially because I really disliked the name Peggy. But as it turns out, about halfway through the book picks up with a new character. The book really has the feel of being the first in a series. You really can't finish the first book and not continue, or I feel like you never really would have gotten started with the story.

So I haven't read the sequels yet, but based on what I've read, it's a 4 star story in the making. Very different in tone from Ender's Game -- almost feels like a different author.

Bottom line: Worth a read, especially if you're craving something a little different.
