Literary significance and reception

A War of Gifts was not particularly well received by genre critics. The chief complaint with the story is that although it raises the issues of faith, religious freedom and religious suppression, it does so in a very superficial manner.[1][2] Some critics have also commented on the character of Ender Wiggin who is described as being too Christ-like to be believable.[2][3] A Publishers Weekly review described it as "an amusing and sincere tale".[4]

Connection to other parts of the Ender series

In addition to being set during Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, the Islamic counter reaction to the Christmas celebrations in A War of Gifts sows the seeds for the creation of the Muslim Caliphate by Battle School graduates which plays a major role in the Shadow series.Шаблон:Citation needed
