Resumen del Editor

Alvin is a Maker, the first to be born in a century. Now a grown man and a journeyman smith, Alvin has returned to his family in the town of Vigor Church. He will share in their isolation, work as a blacksmith, and try to teach anyone who wishes to learn the knack of being a Maker. For Alvin has had a vision of the Crystal City he will build, and he knows that he cannot build it alone. But he has left behind, in Hatrack River, true friends as well as enemies. And his ancient foe, the Unmaker, whose cruel whispers and deadly plots have threatened Alvin's life at every turn, has found new hands to do his work of destruction.

outstanding

outstanding story and performance doesn't get amy better for sure thank you. can't wait for the next book

Love this series

This is a great set of stories, But I have to say I love little Author, I laughed almost after every comment he made.

The 18th Century Age of Exploration Recast

I found this book to be a remarkable and engaging recast of the American Frontier progression across the continent. The mystical fascination of alchemical gifts, 'knacks,' provides some of the actual background that excited the early Mormon movement into a more universal, modern compositon in the Alvin series is an inspiriation for those of us with similar interest if not religious affiliation. A great read years ago and audio revisit now.

Many lose ends tied. Great story set up

The way so many things were tied back together was flawless. Card has a magnificent way of creating personalities and has some true insight into the human psyche.

This series has me enthralled!

I have been devouring this series, and this book is an excellent part of the journey where we get to see so many story lines come together. The narration by Blackstone Audio's team is wonderful, and I have come to recognize each character's voice actor so they really do feel like that would be their own. Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors, and I think this series is even more captivating than the first of his that captured my imagination, the Ender series.

Amazing to the very end.

Absolutely amazing I can't stop listening to these books!! I have already recommended to two there people who are lost in this realm of Alvin Maker

A court case with some suspense.

I honestly expected this one to be boring, but it kept me on edge. All the clues and evidence fit together nicely to both cause fear and hope. The romance bit felt ham fisted. yet here I am to.continue the series.

Alvin vindicated.

I totally enjoyed Alvin's court trial. Calvin I don't like so much. And Mike Fink sure did surprise me. And as always, I enjoyed the performance.

Great series

Characters are well developed throughout each book. Storyline continues to be interesting. The story flows, and nothing seems to be added without reason.

Just keeps getting better..

This series is beyond epic. And EACH book blows me away just a little more than the last. It feels so real in a way that other fantasies dont. Highly recommended.
