You have strange taste.

Definitely adding that one to the reading list.

They're both great so far, so I'll be curious to know what you think.

The more I read about these books the more I really think I have to read them soon.

Just from the vague summaries I have read I get a strangely Orson Scott Card vibe.

I can see the similarity, although I think The Sparrow (the first book in the series) is better. Just know that it's also a much bigger emotional gut-punch.
