Orson Scott Card - 416
This was a great story about a world that could have been. I love that here Columbus is a good guy, the story does not make him out as the evil white conquering man. This was a lot of fun to read.

Thanks goes out to Brad R. for introducing me to this series a few years ago! I have really loved these stories. And as glad as I am that the series has concluded and I am not on the edge waiting for the next one, I would still like to see more of Percy and his friends.

Card is one of those authors with the Midas touch, I love his books, they are imaginative, they make you care about the characters and he is always true to his characters. This series is no exception. The books are somewhat of a retelling of First and Second Nephi in the Book of Mormon. They tell the story of a family that had been commanded by the Oversoul to leave the city, create a haven in the wilderness and eventually leave the planet of Harmony altoghter to return to Earth. If you are looking for something fun this series does provide. I will admit that I have had a harder time getting into the last of the series Earthborn as the characters are new ones and the story is set farther in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed Pastwatch. It's one of those books that I wish would just keep on going. Or at least more characters from Pastwatch go out and do more things to make things better. Although that wouldn't exactly be possible, because everything they do could possibly change the future so they wouldn't even exist, but still. I would enjoy more Pastwatch stories. Have you read Lovelock?
I am so impressed with your reading numbers! I will have to try reading some Orson Scott Card.
