The Last Shadow by Orson Scott Card


The author pulled off a very-satisfying conclusion to both "Ender's Game" universes, bridging the original series, its prequels, and the "Shadow" series together well.  He resolved most of the plot threads.  There was a little too much deus est machina in the magic systems, and the near-omnipotence of the main characters was unsatisfying.  However the story and endings have a "big heart" and I really enjoyed the prominence of all the "little things" and warm details. 5/5 Stars.
