Pointless anti-colonial rambling.
Tenuous attempt at stringing a plot, and endless wandering around scenes without advancing the narrative.

less action, a lot of thinking, great story
This was different from my usual books (i tend to read about elves or magic). The slower placed story was still very interesting and touched enough on historical events that I knew about (i dont know much about history) to keep me very interested in the fictional outcome.

predictable - good- unrealistic
I enjoyed this spin and revisionist history but I think OSC puts too much faith in humanity, especially Europeans and their detrimental interference in North American indigenous cultures.
loved the varied narrators

Best Orson Scott Card ever
I’ve read this book at least 7 times and I’ve found the insights into humanity, the reflection on the impact of little and big choices and how they can ripple through time, the power of culture and myth and the overall tie into the challenges facing society are incredibly powerful and thought provoking.
I love Enders Game. I love Prentice Alvin. I love most of Card’s other stuff. This book though is my favourite and I highly recommend it.
