For a good while I would proclaim this book as my top favorite. Adults would be a little shocked, as it is about an out of marriage love affair. However, this book is about so much more. It asks you to question, ponder, and re-define what love is and what it means to be faithful. Interestingly, very little physical contact is described (maybe a couple small kisses), yet it is one of the most romantic books I have ever read. It is a true raiser of questions and further thought.

Many have read Ender's Game. Some have read the Ender's series. Perhaps not as many have gotten as far as the The Ender's Shadow Series. This book is the 2nd in that quartet. I love it for the philosophical questions it poses, intriguing characters, quick paced plot, actions scenes, and the part science plays in it. Truly one to get to. Really only need to read Ender's Game, and Ender's Shadow to enjoy this book.

All I can say is thank you Jane Austin. I hope that somewhere in heaven you can read what strange people write about your lovely books.

Oh, how I loved Hitty and her adventures.

This book was originally meant as a stand alone, but has grown into a series. I cannot say how it thrills me that there is more. However, this book in of itself is simply wonderful. It asks you to think about what defines humanity. It calls into account things like the value of a human life. Plus, it makes you wonder what would be lost if emotions were less. Being a rather emotional person, I found it fascinating to think about what I would be if I felt less, and acted less.
