Representaion During Books Alvin Journeyman (Tales of Alvin Maker #4)

In his introduction, Card acknowledges that when "Alvin Journeyman" was first published, some fans had been waiting several years for the next installment in the series. Had I been one of those fans, I would have probably been really annoyed that I'd waited a long time and only got "Alvin Journeyman." Just as is the case with the later Ender novels, the Alvin series seems to have descended into a series where people sit around and have lots of philosophical conversations that, while interesting, don't really do much to advance the plot. The most frustrating part of this is that we have some interesting subplots in here such as the rift between Calvin and Alvin that are brought up, sort of developed and then left dangling once the final pages are turned. Card hints at something more to come and maybe this novel is groundwork for that, but it still feels like an incomplete read. Or maybe this is just one long preview for the next installment in the series. "Alvin Journeyman" seems to be more concerned with wrapping up bits from the last book and introducing a plethora of new characters more than it is about advancing the story of Alvin and his becoming a maker. Enough with visions of the Crystal City. Let's get onto actually building it or bringing it back.

Find this and the rest of my reviews at: https://feministquill.wordpress.com/2...At this point I'm seriously groaning, wondering how I'm ever going to finish reviewing this series. Tales of Alvin Maker and Stephen King's Dark Tower series are what prompted me to stop reviewing for almost a year and a half - simply because these two series are too big and too badly written for me to enjoy the process of reviewing them properly. Between the white saviour nonsense, the white guilt, the

Card continues his top-notch storytelling in this fourth volume of Alvin's saga. One of my Goodreads friends was distinctly displeased with this installment, complaining that it brought the series no closer to its resolution, and introduced characters and subplots only for the sake of lengthening the story. My take on these points, though, is quite different. The characters and subplots don't simply lengthen the saga; they add depth and complexity to it. You can tell a great (in the epic sense)

2.5 stars?This is such a weird alternate history series! Welcome to a North America that has been torqued into a strange shape by this author. The race relations have a really odd feel, with Indigenous people retreated to an area beyond a river and a mysterious bank of cloud which prevents Caucasians from visiting them. Black peoples lives are more similar to actual history, with slaves, slave finders, and free people of colour (who nonetheless face discrimination).The most obvious theme in this

Trudging through the first chapter I wanted to scream. If I didn't already know that I enjoy reading books by this author I would have tossed the book. I'm sure as I continue through the story this memory will fade, but ... I just started the book, and the pain is still fresh.-----But now it's finished, and that was good reading--especially the legal bit with the court case. I liked how it was wrapped up where much of the trouble started, where Mr. Dowser had said for the well to be dug.

For half a second there, I honestly thought Card was going to drag out the romantic tension. So glad it ended the way it did. I also quite enjoyed the courtroom drama in this one. Although I must say, even though it is obvious in every way possible that Alvin is a type or allegory for Joseph Smith, I found it a bit over-the-top that Card went so far as to have Alvin changed his last name to Smith.

The story of Joseph Smith, including the number of book of mormon witnesses, martin harris, accusations of dalliances with under aged women, prosceliting to the family and surrounding regions, mystical powers, etc. Granted it also includes intrigue and moves the story along a tiny bit, though disappointingly little and ties up loose ends that didn't really seem to ever matter and spends way to much time on it. The trial is pointless and takes forever.
