Ender’s Shadow
Thursday, January 22nd, 2004I finished Ender’s Shadow this morning and that is one amazing book. It’s a parallel novel to Ender’s Game, though I think it’s best that it was written after Ender’s Game. Personally, while not a sequel, I believe that there is knowledge in Shadow that would sorta ruin the twists in Game. But that shouldn’t come as a shock, since there is a large gap between when the books were written and this one deals with many other topics that Game does not focus on. The most amazing thing about Shadow is that it really is focused on Bean and explores his background and future while also giving more insight into the other children that played parts in Game. It also gives more insight into Ender, since you see him the way one of the children see him and not as the adults see him or as Ender sees himself. Very nice addition to Game’s views. I don’t believe that Shadow is really on the same level as Game as far as concept goes, but it explores areas that are definitely unique and worthwhile. If you haven’t read this or Game, go to your library and get them both. You’ll find that they’re hard to put down once you’ve started them.
