Crystal City

The Tales of Alvin Maker, Book Six

De: Orson Scott Card

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki, M. E. Willis

This full-cast production of Orson Scott Card's newest title is finally available on audio

From the end of the 18th century, Americans travelled west to find new homes and new lands. They brought with them the magics of plain people. It is from these roots of the American dream that award-winning writer Orson Scott Card has crafted what the Charlotte Observer called "a uniquely American fantasy." Using the lore and the folk magic of the men and women who settled a continent, and the beliefs of the tribes who were here before them, Card has created an alternate frontier America. Charms, beseechings, hexes, and potions all have a place in the lives of the people of this world.

Alvin Miller is the seventh son of a seventh son, born while his six brothers all still lived. Such a birth is a powerful magic; such a boy is destined to perhaps become a Maker. Rejoin the tale of Alvin and his wife Peggy as they work to create the Crystal City of Alvin's vision, where all people can live together in peace.

Master audio listener

fantastic as always
I can't wait for the finale
audio quality was a little poor on this last book but I don't mind it too much.
perfect amount of action and build up. the last book will surely be epic 💪

Contender

Absolutely loved it. In some ways my favorite book of the whole series, but I feel that way about them all. So many sick moments. Awesome new characters, as usual. The volcano, Arthur Stewart does some sick shit, La Tia is a bad ass, and the Dam scene! Soo good.
