Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card
5.0

I had low expectations for this book. It's the story of a supporting character in a story that had already been told in Card's Ender's Game. This book is proof that Orson Scott Card is a phenomenal writer. It's an amazing story, deep, passionate, full of pain and hope. It gives the entire series additional depth and meaning, and the Biblical allusions make it even more of a classic. Card is an author I'd have people who despise genres read, to understand the depth and creativity and complexity that's possible.
