Reviews

A country schoolteacher and the child of a runaway slave find their destinies entwined with that of Alvin Miller, whose talent for ``making'' has marked him for destruction by the evil force known as the Unmaker. Card's epic tale of a magical, alternate America demonstrates his skill in graceful storytelling. Recommended, along with Seventh Son and Red Prophet , for most fantasy collections.-- JC
