Last book I will read from Ender. Truly touched by the author's unfortunate political perspective

This book was good, but it didn't have the usual exciting spark or twist at the end that you get from the older books in the series. I was very disappointed with how Achilles the 2nd was handled. He didn't seem particularly intelligent, even in his own mind and was too easily resolved.

Ender retakes his rightful place at the center of the Enderverse.
Card produces a novel that surpasses many of his others in quality. I hope that he continues to flesh out the "exile years" of Ender's life.

These definitely aren't as good as Ender's Game, but still fun to read.

This is my favorite Ender book. I love that it brings in Valentine and Bean's family.

Nothing happens. It’s just a bunch of discussions as they travel.

This whole book is a retcon. Which Card acknowledges in the afterword. Also you need to read Shadow of the Giant, first.

I listened to this one while I worked. The kids are reaching maturity and the snark is laugh out loud funny.
