Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors. I've not read any of his books in a long time, and it was great to get back to him. I'd actually read this book many years ago, but had a hard time following it up because the library didn't have all of the series (which I think is 7 books total, but not real sure). So now I have access to a variety of other options and I've found them so I'm going to have a go at it again.
This particular series I like because it takes place in Indiana. I recognize many of the areas spoken about and enjoy pointing out that Indiana weather is so crazy that it's used as a plot device in a piece of fiction. As always, I love the alternative world he's created, particularly because you really have to know your history to appreciate it.
Needless to say, this is another fantastically fun, artfully crafted piece of fiction.
