agentfin's review against another edition
5.0
I had read the Worthing Chronicles ages ago and confess to of late having lost faith in Card's writing. This set of entwined short stories however are him at his best. His insight into human nature, politics and religion ring truer today than ever. Eminently readable, thought provoking and well with your while. I'm going to have to look up more of his old short story anthologies now.

I am not a fan of short stories, simply because I invest so much into what I'm reading that to have it end after so few pages is, to me, frustrating and exhausting. This work, however, is a collection of stories so intertwined that it feels much more like a full length novel - "grand conclusion" and all. Add to that the fact that it is written by an author possessing such a brilliant mind (and the talent for expressing it in words), and you have - well, an excellent and worthwhile read.
