I love how Card can weave the intricate web of a story.
This is exactly what he does in book two of the Homecoming series.
Before you even have made it halfway through this story, you know without a doubt that all of these characters are connected; not only because they're in the same city, but because the Oversoul has brought them together.
I think this book comes in at a close second (in terms of overall quality) to the first in the series, in my opinion.
In this book, you begin to hear a different side to all of the main characters in this story, mainly all of the women (Rasa, Hushiduh, Luet, Kokor, Sevet and Shedemei). Sadly, Eiadh is left out and you're only re-introduced to her once she **spoiler alert** marries Elemak.
You also become familiar more so with Nafai and his relationship with his oldest brother, Elemak. You begin to hear a lot more of Elemak's thoughts and you become more aquainted with the anger he holds in his heart for Nafai.
If you want to read a book that touches not only on the basic morality of humanity, but also applies itself to a lot of the social issues we have today, go ahead and read this book. It was very good.

My al time Scott Card fav is still Ender's Game.
This was a great series - I throughly enjoyed. It was different from most of the si-fi I read. I finished all the books in this series and recommend them highly.
A nice continuance of a good series.
As Harmony's Oversoul grows weaker, a great warrior has arisen to challenge its bans. His name is Moozh, and he has won control of an army using forbidden technology. Now he is aiming his soldiers at the city of Basilica, that strong fortress above the Plain.
Basilica remains in turmoil. Wetchik and his sons are not strong enough to stop an army. Can Rasa and her allies defeat him through intrigue, or will Moozh take the city and all who are in it?

This is book two of the Homecoming Trilogy. All of Orson Scott Card's books are good, including this one.

Book is in great shape, but inside cover when opened shows some separation of the pages to the cover. Rubber cement should easily fix.
Book 2 in the Homecoming series
Yaaaaawn. NOT up to his standard. Couldn't finish it.
I really liked this book. Good futuristic fantasy. great characters. It is book 2 of the Homecoming series but it is not necessary to have read book 1 to enjoy it.
Another book by the popular author of Enders Game.
A brilliant series - worth reading every volume!
