A review by spikesgroceries
Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card

adventurous tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.5

plot is very engaging and moves along well. The ending annoyed me (Petra/bean have had no build up and suddenly they are in love??). All of the female characters are only there as plot devices for the men. The politics of the book also make it very clear that’s the author is a boomer era white American.
