So I've been listening to the Mither Mages books in conjunction with the [b:Hex Hall|5287473|Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1)|Rachel Hawkins|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1368393885s/5287473.jpg|5354884] series - I am listening to these ones at work and the Hex Hall books in my car, in case it s...
I wanted to like this book. I really did. It started out so good that I couldn't put it down at bedtime. It had interesting mysteries and characters, and the main protagonist was actually intelligent and figuring things out on his own.And then, about halfway through the book, it's like the author...
Sometimes I can look past an artist (whether they are a singer, writer, screenwriter, producer, etc) and their personal opinions. In this case I can't.
So, I was getting ready to write a big long review, trying to decide what to say, but I'll leave you to read someone else's review that's pretty much spot on.I tend to shy away from Card, for multiple reasons, but Stefan Rudnicki, who I love, read/produced this book, and I picked it up cheap.

I have never been so excited to have a book show up on my doorstep as I was with this book. I opened the package, read the first few words, and was so hooked that it was next to impossible to put it down.

The ratings for this book seem high, so I know that I am in the minority on this one. I've read 2 other books by Orson Scott Card and enjoyed both of them. They've had good imaginative plots and make a fun story, which is why I picked this book to listen with my 12-year old son.The Good: The stor...
I think this will be my last foray into the world of Orson Scott Card. I loved Ender's Game when I read it in university but since then, have not found another book of his that I enjoyed. The author spends far too much time telling rather than showing. The book includes long sections in which Dan...

Danny is a mage in a commune of the North mage clan where all are related and have been imprisoned here on our Earth for the last thirteen and a half centuries as th...
