Looking for an unusual book? Here you go. It took some real imagination for the author to create an alternate-history tale where people exhibit a variety of supernatural "knacks." These knacks are magical abilities that to some are viewed as natural blessings, but to others they are deemed evil--the equivalent of witchcraft. I will tell you now that if you don't want to read an entire series, you might pass on this book. It was a good book that basically introduces the characters. There is evil and good, kindness and cruelty, magical happenings as well as things that closely resemble our reality. A strong religious theme dominates the plot, and it doesn't shed the most flattering light on Christianity. Only having read book one, I am not certain where that will lead. Principios del siglo XIX. Una Norteamérica no independizada todavía de la corona británica, donde la magia y los conjuros del folclore son tan efectivos entre el hombre blanco como entre los pieles rojas. Alvin ha nacido en el seno de una familia de colonos que se dirige al oeste. Es el séptimo hijo varón de un séptimo hijo varón, y por las prodigiosas circunstancias de su nacimiento, está llamado a ser un hacedor; un antagonista de los poderes innominables que persiguen la destrucción de todo lo creado. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Absolutely fantastic book, except for the lack of an ending. Technically, all the open questions were answered, but it feels so unsatisfying that story couldn't be completed. Though I am a huge fan of the Ender's Saga and Shadow Series, I cannot trust an author who won't give me an ending. As a result, I am not interested in continuing what is very likely one of the best fantasy series available.
I'll stick with Card's science-fiction instead.
