April Blog #2: Ender's Shadow, by Orson Scott Card, published 1999

Ender's game is a tough act to follow. It is quite simply one of the best books I have ever read, so it's sequels (Speaker For the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind) were all rather disappointing. So it is with some skepticism that I picked up Ender's Shadow, a 'parallel novel' to Ender's game.

Part of me screams 'Sellout!', but I also am interested to learn more about Bean, the protagonist of the book. Ender's Game was all about Ender, but there were some cool characters. I'd like to learn more about a few of them, particularly Dink, he was really cool.

So let's pick this thing up and read it!
