Ender In Exile

Orson Scott Card--once again. Perhaps not at his best but ever present in the world. I loved everything especially the Ender-ness--yes, he CAN still do it.

2 Minor Complaints
--Can anyone say PIECEMEAL? I feel like I bought several of the chapters of EiE on IGMS already--and c'mon Taming of the Shrew? Is Card trying to promote his retelling in this book? Isn't this supposed to be A. NEW and B. about Ender NOT Card.
--And where was the grand build-up with lots of tie-ins and a beautiful plot resoulution that I have grown to expect from Card. I mean character development is what I read Card for (and that was awesome OSC, congrats!) but all of the sudden at the end its Ender finally meeting Arkanian and solving that without even thinking twice. Just a little let down...

Everything else was awesome and hooray for the new arrival in Enderverse. And read the endnote for clarification. More on that later...ENJOY!

In Wait for November Eleventh

ENDER IN EXILE--Tomorrow!!!

This is so exciting! I can't wait to welcome a brand new Ender novel to the 'Verse. I am geared up and ready to get this book digested. I am so happy to have Card Love again. I have been so excited the last few days.

I made a deal with my husband in August that he could buy something or other in September if I could buy my book in November...so I have no restraints. Hopefully I will find more time to get this blog current and less crazy. Even more hopefully I will be able to do a review of the new book right here on Wednesday!!

Congratulations Ender and Mr. Card, on a new book!
