So I was browsing my Amazon recommendations and checked out the sf/f Coming Soon books. And there, I found "A War of Gifts: An Ender Story (Ender) (Hardcover)". Turns out this is a novella. Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game was my favorite book for the longest time. If I have a favorite now, it might still be that. Or perhaps Ender's Shadow because I really like that too. I don't really like the other books in the first Ender series and the second series books, the Shadow ones, are only so-so.

So, given that, an Ender story to me is perhaps 50-50 I might like it. In that case, I had to check out the blurb.

I won't quote the whole blurb, because that would be copyright infringement. But you can read it yourself off of Amazon here.

Spoilers ahead!

"When Zeck Morgan, the young son of a puritanical minister, qualifies for [...] Battle School, he is brought to the school against his will. Citing his pacifist religious beliefs, Zeck refuses to participate in any simulated war games, but when he sees a Dutch student give a friend a small present in celebration of Sinterklaas Day, he reports the violation of the school's rules against open religious observation [...] Zeck becomes a pariah until series hero Ender Wiggin finds a way to show him the real meaning of the holidays."
--- Publishers Weekly

My response to that:

o.O!!!!
