" Easily my favorite of Orson Scott Card's books, and for me that's saying a lot. I fell in love with his writing starting with Ender's Game, but this book takes the cake. A young woman discovers she is not only the rightful heir to the throne on her colonized planet, but furthermore she has been chosen by the Unwyrm, a beast whose will seems to control the world around it, to be its mate. Where creatures lack will, intelligence, or mercy, she must make her quest to the Unwyrm's lair and end its invisible rule before her people are doomed. "

" It was ok, but not by any means a favorite by this author. It was entertaining but very abstract. Alot of the book is speant guessing at what certain words actually mean. I also found alot of the book disturbing. The family relationships were so unnatural. "

" The story was compelling and addictive. As a 13-year-old, the ending was too graphic for my taste, shockingly explicit, more so because of the spare and almost impersonal descriptions of the events. Absolutely unforgettable. "

" I think Scott meant this to be trashy scifi but he is such a great writer and knows his craft so well that even human sex with worms is beautiful when he does it! "

" The overtly sexual nature of this book surprised and repulsed me. The plot seemed forced as well. Not what you would expect from the creator of the Ender-verse. "

" I read this soon after Hart's Hope. Also one of Card's earlier novels. It was better than Hart's Hope. Better, more interesting characters, more compelling plot. "
