DESCRIPTION:
A fun little Ender story (but emphasis on "little") Craig MACKINNON Just to be clear right off the bat: War of Gifts is a novella. Weighing in at a mere 120 pages, and not very dense pages at that, this is not a book to be taking on a trans-Pacific flight. However, if you're looking for some thought provoking science fiction and don't have a lot of time to spend, this might be just the book for you.This is a classic Ender book, in that it takes place at the Battle School, around when Ender was 6 or 7. Lots of of the kids who would become familiar ar. It's not funny. It's not inspirational Jace Priester The short story that no one wanted about a character that didn't exist but is now shoe-horned into the original story so the author didn't have to write an original setting. There's a lot of books in this Enderverse, so go read them, but don't read this. It's completely, utterly irrelevant to all of the rest, and has no redeeming qualities. It's not funny. It's not inspirational. It doesn't give you any more insight into the original characters. It's just very boring and then it end.

Sure the other Ender novels had some things like national pride and all that, but very little about who they were before they came. I felt that this novel did a better job being all encompassing in examining the other side of them in a very nice way. Recommend to any who have
