Adventure Editorial Review

Orson Scott Card’s "The Last Shadow" offers a satisfying conclusion for both the Ender and Shadow series. The story revolves around computer intelligence Jane and the children and grandchildren of Bean who have been traveling for thousands of years.

Card expertly links the stories of both series, impressively wrapping everything up without explaining every little detail. The book has received mixed reviews, with some praising Card's ability to conclude the story, while others felt underwhelmed by it.
