Speechless
The best book of the series so far. So amazing. I want this series to go on forever. The characters are beautiful and amazing. The world is so real. I cant express my feelings of this book accurately with words. Beyond great.

Great Story Line
I thought with this being the fifth book, it could not keep my attention but I was wrong and pleasantly surprised!
The story will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. There was humor, suspense and shock as the characters began to grow in their nacks and adventures.
The only thing I thought could be better was the transition with the narrators. They would sometime switch in mid story which I thought was a little confusing and unnecessary. Otherwise, great book!

Trilogies are great. More's a crowd.
Love Orson Scott Card. This series however seems to go on and on and on. And the religious undertones get more and more thick. I can't stop though. I've already started Crystal City.

Wonderful
Mr.Card creates a fantastic fantastical fictitious history of America! His use of historical figures working around his narrative is unique and quite excellent! Alvin Maker is as all would hope to be, knack or no knack he gets two thumbs up from me!

I prefer to leave a rating like I could before
I prefer to leave a rating like I could before. The book was great but your rate/review system is broken. I also used to depend on this feature to show me the next book in series since your mobile app seems inexplicably unable to offer this unlike the website!

OSC, plz finish this series!
Will Card ever finish this series??? There's only one book left. I've read through this whole series 4-5 times now. It's my favorite of all his works.
I don't know whether Orson Scott Card will ever read this, but I would beg him to finish the Alvin Maker Series, which IMO is his magnum opus.

Excellent Ensemble Audiobook
If you loved the creative characters and surprise plots of Ender's Game (and series), then this American Mythology/Fantasy series is worth a go. I have been pleasantly surprised at how this whole series has recast American history with equal parts whimsy and gravity.

OSC does it again!
Orson Scott Card does it again! Another book in the Alvin Maker Series that moves the story along towards the Crystal City. The voice actors are awesome as always. They are the same actors that read Enders Game Series and I enjoy every minute listening to the stories. I have read the books since the 80's and loved them then, I have listened to all of the books at least 3 times since buying them and each time I hear something new just like I do when I read a book a couple of times over. Well done OSC and crew. Thank you for the alternative history of the US and bringing a little knackery/ magic back into mine.

Heartfire and the Alvin series
This Audible presentation of Card's Alvin series is a triumph. It is centred around the premise that innate skills can manifest as magical 'knacks' that can change the world. This is no 'twee' story however as it raises issues of prejudice, slavery and religion in a context that grabs the listener's attention and leaves them wanting more. I have read most of Card's bibliography but listening to these stories provides a new opportunity to enjoy this master story-teller at his best.

Exponential decay in a book series.
Shockingly uneventful. Even if you have read through the previous four installments in this series and noted a slowing down in the story, nothing can prepare you for exactly how little happens in this book. I have read many of OSC's books and thoroughly enjoyed them, including all the 'Ender' and 'Enders Shadow' series, most of which (with exceptions) have a brilliant combination of story, action and character, so it is utterly bizarre just how little Orson has to say in this book.
On the first audiobook of this series, there is an introduction by OSC himself declaring his intention of writing a series of very American fantasy books 'to rival The Lord of the Rings'.
Unfortunately, he seems to have completely given up on this somewhat optimistic idea and has instead fashioned a series of books that are starting to make the Slough telephone directory look like the script for the new Jerry Bruckheimer movie.
I now have the very real dilemma of whether, for closure, to put myself through listening to the sixth and currently last in the series (so far, as the author has threatened a seventh!) or to preserve those 11 never-to-be-regained hours of my life for something more rewarding.
To quote Danny from the cult-film 'Withnail and I', 'If you're hanging on to a rising balloon, you're presented with a difficult decision - let go before it's too late or hold on and keep getting higher, posing the question: how long can you keep a grip on the rope?'
I think it may be time to let go. Two broken legs and a fractured pelvis have to be better than this.
