Shadow Puppets by Orson Scott Card
Tuesday, September 05, 2006
Shadow Puppets is book in a series of books written by my favorite author, Orson Scott Card (OSC). I will write about him in another entry one of these days. Summary:
Today, I finished reading this novel, the 7th novel in the Ender Saga (or 3rd in the Shadow series depending on how you look at it). I have already read the previous ones and I had been meaning to get to this one a long time ago. I’m glad I finally got a chance to read this one. In all honesty, I had started this novel a few years back but I had lost interest. This might be one of the reasons why I took some points off of my rating. Like the 3rd book, Xenocide, I found this one to be a bit slow at times and sometimes plain too chit-chatty. Ender’s Game set the bar very high for Mr. Card and so his readers expect wonderful things! That said, this novel explores that same world that was developed in Ender’s Shadow and brings back and develops characters that we thought had passed. Bean will probably never play such an important role as he did in this novel and the same might go for Petra.
As always, I highly recommend the Ender’s Series to anyone who likes science fiction. Orson Scott Card is a master at combining action, turn-paging suspense, and tormentful dilemma in his work. If you do not like philosphical aspects of literature, I would advise you to read Ender’s Game and then skip to Ender’s Shadow. Otherwise, reading all the novels in order is definately worth the time and the learning experience is unique. Enjoy! |
