A War of Gifts - Orson Scott Card

2 out of 5 - Would Not Recommend

I was not a fan. I don’t regret reading it, mostly because I knew of its existence and would have regretted never reading it, but I didn’t like it. Part of it may be due to the fact that this was a novella, but overall, I didn’t like the way the problems, which could have been fascinating if given more time, took up less space than they really should have. I appreciate the attempts to develop and show a proper character, but it didn’t go over too well for me. Letting Ender solve the main problem also felt like a cheat - Ender wasn’t involved in the plot overmuch to begin with! He was in a conversation, not really more. The novella did give a fun little snippet into Battle School, and presented an interesting view of Christianity (and religion vs. nationalism vs. culture). I would have liked to read more about those. Overall, the ending wasn’t super satisfying.

#it honestly read like some of the novellas we turned down from our literary magazine #an attempt to fit a much longer story into a shorter space #ender's game #orson scott card #battle school #a war of gifts #enders game #book review #tmtd #the mask

here. i was looking for something nice for a 'between dusk and dawn' update (which .. there's just not enough of footage of wang can NOT being creepy or fighty)

and i found this promo shot from 电竞高校 (Battle School or E-Sports High School) and i love it to pieces bc just look at him, big tough gamer bb!

#liu chang #battle school #tang niu #evidently #idk if i can watch it bc oh my god is it coded for high school but he's so adorable #sidecut fake earring and all #i think npss is cameoing in this show - or at least a similar-aged dude with the same glasses and buzzcut style #the story of how liu chang went from being cast like wang can and ^this to high-fashion photo shoots and 'pretty wife'🙄#has got to be kind of amazing and i am intrigued whether it was a purposeful management decision or what #i get the impression some of it was just the longer hair culturally telegraphing 'bad boy'#so *cute*#this has been sitting in drafts for a week so wth i'll just post it

remember to sacrifice your closest friends, because they want you to win as much as you do.

Ho Launchies — Welcome to Battle School!

This is a blog dedicated to the Ender Series (and the Shadow Saga) and I will post my thoughts on the books, plot, characters, and my other opinions here.

First of all, I would like to post the chronological order of books here, since it is one of the most frequently asked questions in the Enderverse.

Chronological Order: (and recommended sequence)

1. Ender’s Game 2. Ender’s Shadow 3. Shadow of the Hegemon 4. Shadow Puppets 5. Shadow of the Giant 6. Ender in Exile 7. Shadows in Flight 8. Speaker for the Dead 9. Xenocide 10. Children of the Mind

Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow are very similar. Obviously because it is the same story from different perspectives. Besides these two, the rest of the books are very different. The series could really be divided into these three different categories:

Ender Series Ender’s Game Ender in Exile

Shadow Saga Ender’s Shadow Shadow of the Hegemon Shadow Puppets Shadow of the Giant Shadows in Flight

Speaker Series Speaker for the Dead Xenocide Children of the Mind

The Ender Series occurs during Ender’s early childhood to his late teens. It ends when he’s about 17 or 18 years old. The Speaker Series takes place 3000 years after the Ender Series, but to Ender, in his early 30s, it is only about ten relativistic years. The Speaker Series is very slow paced, and is very scientific and philosophical. It takes place in space after Ender is sent into exile by Locke, who actually saved his life by doing this. Valentine’s story is in the Speaker Series since she went with Ender into exile after the Formic War. The Shadow Saga is much more fast paced, similar to Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow. The Shadow Saga is the story about Bean and the other Battle School graduates on Earth. It’s also Peter’s story as Locke, and how he became Hegemon.

Ender in Exile really could stand by itself, it only barely fits into the Ender Series because we follow Ender immediately after the xenocide of the Formics. Most of it takes place between the chapters 15 and 16 of Ender’s Game. It is more of a sequel to Shadow of the Giant because we find out what happened to Bean and Petra’s last lost child, who is later known to be Arkanian Delphiki.

Welcome to this blog, and I hope that answered some questions. Enjoy reading the series, I loved it, and I hope you will too!

If you think about it, Battle School was just a bunch of Slytherins playing games against each other 🤔
