It's amazing what you can accomplish in four days... this romance unfolded in action-packed, rapid succession. While the mystery was a bit far-fetched, the characters were well drawn and interesting. An entertaining read.

This is the first truly bad book I have read by Card. The story from the political standpoint is not terrible. It is just a "what-if" future political thriller in the Enderverse. However, Card is basically telling you that you should have babies, and that babies are the most important thing in the world, and if you don't have all the babies you can have by the time you die you are selfish and stupid and don't really know what life is all about. OK. I get it, Orson. You like babies. I think my thoughts on this book are tainted by the author's often annoyingly one-dimensional religious philosophy, on which he has written numerous essays and such.
