Title: A phenomenal read!
Product review: Orson Scott Card has always been one of my favorite authors and this series is no exception. Seventh Son is the first of the Alvin Maker series, a tale set in a colonial America where magic is real and history went somewhat differently. Alvin is the seventh son of a seventh son which means he was born to be something special and powerful. The book is hard to put down and captivates you from beginning to end.My only big complaint about the Alvin Maker series came about this past rereading of it. My copies of the Alvin Maker series are all suffering from being read so many times. This last reread made realize how often religion plays a part. Perhaps in the past I somehow overlooked it, though I'm not sure how. Every few pages is mentioning, questioning or referencing some form of spiritual entity. I'm not uncomfortable reading about religion, but when I look forward to reading a fun alternate-history fiction saga, I'd prefer it with slightly less preaching in it.
