On the one hand, I thought it was so short and a bit rushed (I agree with you on the ending, not that it was unexpected, just that it felt a little lacking?). But on the other hand, it's new Card!!! I mean I love Card so much that anything feels like a treat from him. I think this story had enough potential that I'd want to read more about his kids at some point...but it's not one I see myself reading again and again and again and again.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-85553031773843080072012-02-09T12:12:13.385-06:002012-02-09T12:12:13.385-06:00I have still only read Ender's Game.

I need to cat...No, I haven't read this one yet. I need to catch up in this series! I read the first two ages ago and really enjoyed them, they were terrific. I also read - 4? 5? - in the Alvin Maker series, which were so enthralling. I stopped then, just stopped reading as much sf, so now I have to go back and read them all again so I can finish the series!<br /><br />What I can say is, I've noticed that - even in the three Harper Hall trilogy books I just finished reading,the endings all seemed rushed. It was kind of odd and interesting to see, almost like McCaffrey wanted to finish up and go to the next thing. Is that the same idea here, especially as both your books and mine are parts of series? that maybe he was going on in his mind to the next book (or something else) entirely. At least it didnt' take away from the quality of the book overall, as it didn't with the Pern books for me.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.com
