Rating: 5 stars
Summary: definitely the best so far
Review: this is in my opinion the best book so far in the alvin maker series. although i wish card would just get to the crystal city, this book still had suspense and excitement. the only thing i have to complain about is the way card can draw out scenes to last pages when the only need about 1/2 a page to explain. but still one of the best books card has written.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Slow but worth it
Review: This novel was an interesting story to the Alvin Maker series. I did enjoy the story and the adventures that Card told but I felt that this story was a stopping point-a temporary detour as he regrouped. I felt that this tale was an attempt to finish the story he started and gather the characters he needed to reach the Crystal City.

This is a very important book in the series. It introduces characters that I feel are going to be fundamental to the conclusion of the Alvin Maker series. If have been enjoying this gift from Card, you need to pick this book up and struggle through the slight lulls and finish this one.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved this one too... best of series so far
Review: What's cool about Journeyman is that I finally feel connected to the characters in this book. My conceptions of the real life historical characters depicted in this volume has changed. I think Card is brilliant in how William Henry Harrison evil ways are ultimately punished, and then by who exactly is ironic and more intriguing.

A great yarn. Currently reading Heartfire, but I love also the Ender series, but I have to say I think I like the Alvin Maker series the best. Also love how Peggy finally is "tamed" and the following that Alvin develops. Verily Cooper is also a fantastic addition to the flow. love it.
