I like to read chronologically the first time.<br /><br />Geek out all you want on my blog. That's what it's for. :DJenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-49156559151771972122010-10-15T15:52:08.473-07:002010-10-15T15:52:08.473-07:00Jenna, yes there is a quartet, just like there is ...<b>Jenna</b>, yes there is a quartet, just like there is a quartet of Ender books... although now there's a 5th Ender book (which chronologically falls after <i>Ender's Game</i> but before <i>Speaker for the Dead</i>), AND there's a 5th Shadow book in the works which makes me so excited I could spit. The other Shadow books are called, in order: <i>Shadow of the Hegemon</i>, <i>Shadow Puppets</i>, and <i>Shadow of the Giant</i>. The one word of caution I will state though--it's best to read the Ender universe books in the order of publication. I found that Card layers his details as he writes... although, the Shadow books kind of stand alone so you can pursue the current ones without having finished the Ender books. BUT when the 5th Shadow book comes out eventually (slated to be called <i>Shadows in Flight</i>), <b>don't</b> read it without having read the final 2 Ender books, because it is supposed to tie the two series back together. <br /><br />Ok, I'm done geeking it out over here :)Donna Witekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609991179829134157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-52028964053518324362010-10-15T15:27:36.463-07:002010-10-15T15:27:36.463-07:00Sara, I know exactly what you mean.
Donna, there ...<b>Sara,</b> I know exactly what you mean.<br /><br /><b>Donna,</b> there are more Shadow books? This one made me want to read everything OSC has ever written. I'll have to look into that. Oh, and I <i>love</i> your Petra/Peeta parallel... now I really have to keep reading.Jenna St. Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474588706124865006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-20349395336994461892010-10-15T09:05:57.128-07:002010-10-15T09:05:57.128-07:00I loved Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead ...I loved Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead even more. So much that I haven't wanted to pick up another book in the series.

If you don't absolutely adore Petra yet, you will if you keep reading. :) Kind of interesting...actually, REALLY interesting that, you compared Bean (rightly) to Katniss, and each of their counterparts are named Petra/Peeta, respectively. Wow, this might be a parallel worthy of John Granger's perusal. :)Donna Witekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609991179829134157noreply@blogger.com
