Cool. I was sure the 4th book was about all that could be done there, I
was thinking Card had pretty much mined out that theme.

Does it suffer from the run-on tendency that recent Card works seem to
exhibit? It's like, "Orson, get to the point! I'd pay just as much for a
shorter book."

(not that *I* ever go on interminably about something, oh no, not me!)
