bdplume 's review for:
Seventh Son
by Orson Scott Card
A decent start for a fantasy saga, but honestly I didn't feel this one was up to Card's usual standards of enthralling story and vibrant characters. A lot of important events to the larger story happen before one is deeply invested in the characters, and so they don't leave the impression they otherwise might. The colonial vernacular of the dialogue is a bit jarring at first, although necessary for the flavor. This book was solid enough to keep me interested, but nowhere near as compelling as Ender's Game or The Memory of Earth.
