- Locus Award, 1988
"A tribute to the art of storytelling, this is highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"Seventh Son begins what may be a significant recasting in fantasy terms of the tall tale of America." (Washington Post Book World)
"A consistently gripping tale featuring solid historical research and a keen understanding of religious experience. Another major effort by a world-class talent. Highly recommended." (Booklist)

A great listen
A great book that makes me want to listen to all of Orson Scott Cards books all over again. What a world he he has created.

love this series
contrary to the other review, I am not American but I still really enjoy this series. I feel like there was always meant to be another book that comes out after crystal city that hasn't come yet though. great journey nonetheless!

Eh
More Christians vs witches, I think this is a theme I'm just tired of. The story wasn't badly written, the characters were mostly easy to like, the witchcraft aspect was kind of neat but I was board. I didn't really care. I cringed at how obvious certain characters were blindly influenced and the role faith plays in stories in like this. I've just had enough of it.

Worst OSC I've read/listened to
Very few likeable characters. Story with no appeal outside America. Very disappointing. Not worth buying.
