I started this blog with a Dresden novel and this is the first chance I've gotten to read another. Not because they are hard to come by or anything actually restricting my enjoyment of them, but rather because I am limiting myself on how fast I read them. Reading these books makes me happy in a way few other things can.
I don't have any super detailed critiques for this specific book. It is in line with the others of this series so, of course, I loved it. The only detailed thing I'd like to say is: Zombie T-Rex named Sue. You're welcome.

Ruins - Orson Scott Card (The Pathfinder Series, Bk 2)
20 September 2015
I LOVE Orson Scott Card. Everything he's ever written has been fan-freaking-tastic! He's not afraid to really push the limits of logic in his works, particularly this one. Time travel has always been a fave for all sci-fi writers and readers since the very beginning. But what he does that few others do, is make it logical. The characters use it fully as a tool, not just a fun romp around or endless paradoxes, but in a way that intelligent people would utilize the capabilities to solve serious problems. He also makes very realistic characters (other than perhaps Rigg who is far too self-sacrificial, but you could argue that same flaw in Ender)
I always recommend Orson Scott Card to people. He is a master of seamlessly twining together fantasy with enough logic to make it believable. If you've never read one of his books, pick up Pathfinder (book one in this series).
