A review by mlthomas_books
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
4.0
Speaker for the Dead highlights thoughts that counter our tendency to alienate and attack what we don't understand... but it doesn't neglect the suffering that accompanies deep misunderstanding, hostility, and forgiveness.
The universe is well-built to accompany Card's emphasis on ethics and the ways that human nature and religion can impede them. The emotional notes hit hard (too hard, at points). The plot is slow-moving but gripping and tense. The sci-fi context is unspecific and accessible.
