Red Prophet: Tales of Alvin Maker, Book 2 (Abridged) Audiobook

" Another in the Alvin Maker series. The first 3 books are the best. "

" Seventh Son is still my favorite of this author, and this series but I can't put it down. "

" The Alvin Series is an interesting idea of an alternate history where all the settlers of America have a knack, aka unique magical ability. Alvin is a Maker, the ultimate power and has a destiny to fulfill. This series is interesting showing as much action as deep thinking. A good series to get you thinking. "

" Pretty Good story. developing the characters nicely "

" Very slow beginning. Hard to stay interested. But the last half came close to making the first half worth it. "

" The first book in the series intrigued me, and I had to read all the others. As I mention in other reviews of books in this series, it's not my favorite "world" by Card, but it has it's own magic. "

" An alternate history of the Americas - if magic worked. Napolean was a character in this one and I enjoyed the author's take on how he charmed people so easily. "

" Makes me wonder how much is based on true events - life in the US/Canada in frontier days. "

" A second volume that's better than the first ... we get deeper in the workings of this alternate America, with a story both tragic and heartening. "

" This is an amazing book! It was just as good as the first one in the series. I love books by Orson Scott Card. I completely plan on reading the next one in this series. "

" I loved it! Okay, okay, I'll admit, it was really boring at the beginning. But honestly, halfway through the chapter I was hooked till the end. Orsen Scott Card is a genius. "

" On recommendation - I thought I'd give good 2 in the series a go (I plodded through book 1). Nope. Just as dull. Stopped about 4 chapters in. Blah blah blah. "

" This one seemed a little more 'fantastical' and difficult for me to read. It felt awkward at times. But there is important information in it for the rest of the saga. "

" After Seventh Son, I was expecting more. I didn't manage to finish reading Red Prophet. I didn't find that same excitement that I've found in other OSC books, unfortunately. I just lost interest. "

" This book was enjoyable enough. Not a must-read, but since I've started the series, I want to find out what happens! "

" The series that starts with Seventh Son goes on in all its American Pioneer Spirit glory. "

" This is not my favourite in the series because it always feels like the plot of the book, the main one has been put aside for it. For some reason I like Prentice Alvin better. "

" History with a magical twist! "

" Spaced on reviewing this. As it has now been several months seen I've read it I can't give a reliable review. I liked the series overall so I'm giving it a 3. "

" Another good tale. Why do all Orson Scott Card series have battles between countries in them? I guess wars have to happen but it is sad to read about. "

" Some interesting views about Native Americans in this one. "

" Audio version. Faith gave 4 stars. Read the 1st in the series years ago. I enjoyed Card's storytelling of this fantasy tale of an alternative view of history. "

" great series, original story in my opinion "

" Another good tale. Why do all Orson Scott Card series have battles between countries in them? I guess wars have to happen but it is sad to read about. "

" Alvin Miller discovers he has incredible powers for creating and shaping things around him.A recurring and main theme of the books is the conflict between Creators and Destroyers—namely, Making such as Alvin does, and Unmaking that he confronts. "

" Some very hearwrenching scenes in this book. "

" This one seemed a little more 'fantastical' and difficult for me to read. It felt awkward at times. But there is important information in it for the rest of the saga. "

" This one was little slow on the pick up, but that's the way it goes sometimes with series. It was a little frustrating to wade through 70+ pages of new characters just to end up re-reading many of the events of the first book, but it was worth every single second by the end. "

" It was enough to get me to start the third but I felt it was a little to heavy on the "white man's guilt." Maybe I'm just sensitive because I'm a white man, I don't know. So far I'm not as impressed with this series as I was with Ender. "

" great continuation of the Alvin Maker series. I really want the next one! "

" Not as nice as the first book in the series. Too much alternate-history setting up for my liking, and too little character and magic. "

" Pretty Good story. developing the characters nicely "

" I adored Seventh Son, but so far, Red Prophet has yet to catch my attention. It's likely that the horrific stereotyping and bigotry oozing from every page has something to do with it. "
