    5.0 out of 5 stars A sound collection of Card's short stories
    Reviewed in the United States on 13 August 2005

    I've always loved collections of short stories, especially when the author includes introductions and afterwords to his works. It really gives the reader a chance to see into the mind of the writer, and to understand what he is all about. Maps in a Mirror succeeds admirably in bringing together the huge spectrum of Orson Scott Card's short stories. For the most part, the stories are thought-provoking and fun. Card's commentaries provide extra insight into how the stories came about.

    Some of the stories tend toward long-winded philosophy and moral arguing, which certainly isn't bad, but can become a bit tedious. Still, all of Card's gems are here, as well as many other less famous stories. There's nothing more enjoyable than being able to sit down and delve into a short story that you know you'll be finishing in one sitting. The short story is a world apart from the novel, and Card certainly does the style justice.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Tales and a Worthwhile Read.
    Reviewed in the United States on 22 April 2015

    These 50 or so stories from the 70s and 80s are really diverse in terms of genre, theme and style. The insight that went into his early writing is profound in both its uniqueness and depth of meaning. I immensely enjoyed getting swept away by each of them. You can definitely sense that many of these stories introduced the fundamental concepts that were honed by his more popular novel series.

    My only issue (albeit a very trivial one) is the subtle and recurrent haughty undertone found in his many introductions/afterwords.
