Visitors is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card. It is the third and final novel in the Pathfinder series and picks up where Ruins left off. There are quite a few spoilers below.
I’m glad it read it. The book has been criticised for its convoluted plot, and while it is complicated and hard to follow at times, much of it was still very engaging. And the twist at the end was good.
Where I did struggle was in seeing the importance of some of the storylines. The series starts out as a fantasy and then suddenly turns into science fiction. In this book, it was half science fiction across multiple worlds, and yet they were still fighting a war in Ramfold, which seemed fairly irrelevant given the wider picture. As a result, I’ve had it on the backburner while I read other stuff at the same time.
Overall, if you have read the first two and enjoyed them, this is worth reading, too. Although it might not be as good as the first two in the series it is still a great novel.
