Very different chronic Alvin and Ender cycle the Mastersingers can initially confuse fans of Orson Scott Card. Yet to Ender cycle instatr the hero of this story has a gift that will bring him power, which will not happen without harm, without disappointment and pain. The story of the life of Ansset whose voice will open the doors of power is a beauty and poetry sometimes breathtaking. Superb initiation quest, blackmailers come to bring us into a particularly rich and enchanting musical universe. Card happened to make me regret that these songbirds do not exist in our world so early music he distils over the pages filled me with happiness.
