Shadows in Flight by Orson Scott Card
4.0
(This is a 3.5 star rating)
Works as a decent tie-up for the Shadow series after having beaten the reader to death with the "REPRODUCTION IS THE MEANING OF LIFE" stick, giving some character to these babies we've heard so much about, while posing an ethical quandary that acts as a step stool for those posed in the Speaker for the Dead series. It was nice to see the return of a "genius children in space" environment and something else familiar to fans of the first book that started this enormous web of books. I wasn't as connected to the characters and even Bean whom we've been following for so long was nearly unrecognizable! Still, there was a good dynamic and while there was a pretty silly solution to their whole "we will die before we're 20" dilemma, it was a fun short read, so I'll be less critical of it.
