I LOVE John Paul Wiggin. Guys, John Paul and Theresa Wiggin have actually been the best characters in the Enderverse this whole entire time. The Shadow series made this increasingly clear, and now these short stories just drive the point home. It got a little silly in places, since Graff and Chamrajnagar have apparently been in charge of everything that's ever happened in the IF since Ender's dad was six years old. And since Graff apparently orchestrated Ender's birth by sending John Paul toThis prequel was not developed enough to make me crave the first book in the series but it was not bad either so I will move on the next book.

Ender's Game fascinates me. I always go back and back and back to it. I've heard from many different people, all sci-fi lovers to varying degrees, their opinions on Orson Scott Card's Ender series and the majority of these folks caution me not to waste my time reading further into the series - reportedly the books grow weaker and lean more heavily on the past books.Here's the thing though - I'm not finding that to be true at all.

Then the story quickly jumps (no transition) to a portion that seemed to have come straight out of Ender's Game, only there were discrepancies. There's a discrepancy with Graff's character and his age(within this
I actually listened to the Audible version. This is a good introduction to the Ender Universe, although most people would probably prefer to read it after the series, since all of the stories contained here are spread througout the series.We see hear how Ender's father manipulated the government to get what he wants. We get to see how Ender's parents first meet, and how they may have been manipulated to produce Ender. We see Ender as a young man, just coming into his majority with the
