Disturbing yet compelling, a tale of an almost Faustian pact that enables Dorian Gray to keep his youth and beauty while the picture in the attic becomes twisted and unlovely.

"This is the second installment of Card's wildly popular Ender Quintet. It is by far my favorite in the series. It challenges xenophobia in a compelling, poetic, and beautiful way."

Compelling read with lots of twists and turns. Well-written dealing with intense emotion vividly and honestly. Clever use of landscape and weather to illustrate tensions and dark feelings. Great book.

Book Favorite

"They call this masterpiece ‘magical realism’, but I hate the label. Real it is, human and passionate and endlessly moving and compelling. It’s about family, relationships, fate, time. And ghosts. And solitude. Marvelous."
