A War of Gifts: An Ender Story

#213
Title: A War of Gifts: An Ender Story
Author: Orson Scott Card
Publisher:
Year: 2007
125 pages

Since this is in gift book format, "125 pages" over-represents its length. Think of it as a long story or short novella. It is a cute enough holiday story, though it requires the reader to be familiar with the people and context of the Enderverse. The theme of rigidity versus flexibility in world views and rules is fairly overt but not intrusive. Probably fun for Ender fans in the way that I anticipate Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard will be for Potter fans.
