First Meetings by Orson Scott Card

First Meetings is a collection of short stories around Orson Scott Card's Enderverse. First two are about Ender's parents, third is about Ender meeting Jane for the first time, and the last one is the original Ender's Game short story.

Short and sweet, I greatly enjoy Card's writing. The short stories are not brilliant on their own, but they do tell some interesting background stories of Ender. The original Ender's Game must have the most curiosity value - it plays with the main themes of the final novel but is much more crude and straightforward. The evolution to the classic book is interesting, for sure - the added background story of Ender's childhood and the younger children are especially good evolutions.

So recommended for Ender fans only who are looking for their fix.
