Ender in Exile
by Orson Scott Card
This book didn't suck me in immediately the way Ender's Game did. But I recognize that it is meant to be a bridge, connecting Ender's Game with Speaker For The Dead, so I can be forgiving of that. I enjoyed the story and getting to know Ender's character better and will eventually move on to his next adventure. (Sadly the time I've allotted for the Endeverse for this year has passed, and I'll have to leave it behind to explore some strange new areas of fiction... but I'll be back). This book had two particularly memorable areas: the first, a very astute and succinct observation about the nature of desire, the second the most honest explanation of what it is to be a parent. If I walked away from this book with nothing else, those two gems were worth the time it took to read this book. But I also got a good story and the chance to know a beloved character a little better.
