Title: Huh? Where did Old Card go?
Product review: I love Card's old work, and Ender's Game has a permanent spot on my top 10 list. But what has happened? The man is slipping, as he cannot keep a coherent story going. Xenocide and Children of the mind come to mind. I got this hoping I could forget those travesties of writing, and yet, Seventh Son falls into the same pit. Card doesn't really bring up one reason why I should care AT ALL for any of the characters. So the priest is being fooled, its not like he did a good job of covering that up, he gives it away time and again! Not suspenseful in the least... Heck, I could already tell you the plot to the rest of the books after having read this one. Now that I think about it, if you read Ender's Game, you could probably figure out the plot from this one. Does "Extremely Gifted Child" sound familiar to you? Skip this and go try out some new author, SciFi needs some new voices, not Card (who spends his time screaming for attention... just look at his web site).
