A review by protoman21
Stonefather by Orson Scott Card

4.0

I enjoyed this more than a lot of other Card novels that I have read recently. I thought Runnel was a sympathetic character that was humble and hard working and though he sometimes acted like a smart aleck, it was usually out of ignorance or a genuine question or action that was misinterpreted because of his unfortunate upbringing. The world Runnel lives in has its own rules and quirks, but Card doesn't spend too much time developing this world just for the sake of world building. He establishing differences in our world when they are necessary only, but we still get a sense of how things work there. A nice set-up to this world. I'm planning on reading more in this series now.
