This little-known book may be my favorite Card novel. The characters are real and the relationships are moving. It is a complete, stand-alone story that hasn't been ruined with terrible sequels. It is about humanity and the impact we have on those around us; the power of music and love; the ease with which power can be corrupted; and the difficulty and intensity of expressing or suppressing true emotions (guilt, love, greed, passion, anger, resentment, etc). It has been said that Card truly understands the human condition. I believe Songmaster is the truest proof of this.
