I don't think I really have the words to express what I'm thinking and feeling right at this moment. I just finshed Ender's Shadow only a few short moments ago. While my mind is floating freely from the effects of cold weather and hot spiced wine I must say that I have at few moments in my life felt as I do now.
The ending of this book...and indeed the whole of it...has touched me in a way that I can scarcely begin to comprehend. The beauty of it all is so wonderful and amazing yet so wonderfully stirred into the tragedy of the overall event. I enjoyed Ender's Game so much, but this book touched on the humanity of the situation so well, it incorporated such true and deep emotion....that I truly don't think I can bring myself to find the words to describe it.
Like a masterful General, Mr. Card has unleashed a hellish assult on so many points that I am unabled...and willingly so...to counter against the attack.
Right now I can't go on...it really is just too much to bear...to wonderful...not since the Silmarillion have I felt this alive cerebarly. Wonderful...simply and complexitivly wonderful.
Good job Mr. Card...if I could email you I would let you know :-)
