Download Heartfire: Tales of Alvin Maker, Book 5 Audiobook

" I enjoyed this book more than any other in the series since Seventh Son. I enjoy the courtroom drama Mr. Card cooked up. I'm a little concerned that he insists on dragging as many famous people into his alternate history as possible. Also, the beginnings of reconciliation between Alvin and Calvin is very good to see. "

" The maps inside the front and back covers now make more sense as the story branches out widely to include new people, new places and new powers. "

" i really enjoyed the alvin maker series. I may have to buy these for my library. i think reading them would be more enjoyable than listening although listening was great. "

" We learn more about the rest of "America" "

" I read this book not realizing that it was part of a series. But I still loved the sci-fi ideas injected into American history. "

" This book seems to spend a lot of time talking about things I really do not care to much about. It does not focus on the characters as much, instead introducing a few that seemed to be scrapped from another story. Altogether very good though. "

" Another good book in the series. Not my favorite of the bunch, but still great writing and storyline. "

" Still good, but there is a certain repetition of plot devices that kind of mars this installment. Count on more character development of our main players, as opposed to suspense of plot. "

" Alvin landed himself in the middle of some witch trials in this book. It was interesting to learn about the craziness that surrounded those. Another good book. "

" End was ok, but overall the book did little to move the series along. "

" What dreck. I tried to get through this, just for the sake of finishing the series, but I can't make myself go any further. "

" This series has gotten better and better, so much so that I read this book within a 24 hour period. That is not bad considering I have a very active toddler. "

" I was disappointed in this book. It really just feels like Orson changed the locale and a few characters but just repeated the plot line from Journeyman. "

" I loved every one of the Alvin Maker series and have reread them many times. "

" The next in the series of the Seventh Son. Alternate history. I keep reading because I hate to stop in the middle of the series, but it is not my favorite. "

" Alvin Maker series: US history around the time of Tecumseh, assumes magic is real, mountain spells work, and the Louisiana purchase never happened. "

" Great book! Stupid cover! This is NOT a "romance novel." Don't let the cover and title fool you. This book, along with the other Alvin Maker books, don't have the feel and magic of most fantasy novels, but they are still compelling and are written well. "

" Way to crap on your own series, Orson. This book is a blank to me, except that it went beyond boring me--it made me just not care anymore about the entire series. Crystal city? Whatever, man. Good for you if you build it. Or not. "

" Little irritated, and glad in the same sentence. I thought this was the final book and found that it wasn't. Weird pregnancy. Unique look on slavery. Looking forward to reading book 6. "

" I'd give it 3.5 stars. I think this the weakest in the series. "

" This book started out a little slow but really picked up at the end. Again, it delt with American History and this time it touched on the subject of witch trials in Boston. Very good book and worth the read even as a stand alone book. "

" I enjoyed this book, but not as much as some others in the series. In the first books, comparing Alvin's story with Joseph Smith's life was really fun, but now it's getting a little old. "

" Still an enjoyable series, but I liked the first few books better "

" I read this a few years ago and I'm still disappointed . . . Just look at the cover. Some of the earlier books in this series were excellent, but this one was just not good. I kept reading, though, hoping there would be something worthwhile. It just didn't get any better. Sad, sad . . . "

" The story is winding down and I still can't figure out how it's going to end. This makes me happy. One book left to go and this book makes you want to read it immediately afterward. "

" Excellent story, excellent book. Nothing terribly moving about the book, just a good book with a good story. The parallels to J.S. are humorous and interesting to see, but not a big part of the story. I will read the 6th book too, I have enjoyed the series. "

" My least favorite in the series. Really went off in some different directions. Struggles for the main characters were resolved too easily, too much talk, no enough action. "

" I like the characters. Interesting story. Things keep moving. "

" While I really liked the novel this is based on and like graphic novels in general, there something about the execution of this that put me off. I found the special Ender related bonus story at the end far more engaging and gave my rating a third star just for that. "

" pretty good! I look forward to reading the actual BOOK, though, instead of just comics. "

" friggin awesome story, need to read novel, the book is very imaginative and I love the way that magic is real and history is an unveiling of alternate existences. "
