1 year agoA Planet Called Treason (also renamed as Treason) by Orson Scott Card. It’s an epic tale and I remember it as a grand adventure with an epic plot and surreal environment - but its a short book.
The Last Shadow by Orson Scott Card. What makes it horrible is that it was greatly anticipated and wraps up the other 10 novels and joins two separate timelines of the same universe - except without tying up ANY loose ends with plot. Absolutely nothing is solved in the final book and all the build up from each timeline is completely wasted in a wishy washy “conclusion” that leaves a looooooot to be desired. This is why you don’t take decades to write the final addition to your extensive universe.
