A review by rebeccahk
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card

4.0

The complexity unfolds in this second book of the series. When I initially read it, I felt it was rushed, skipping too far into the future, and lacked the first book's action packed story. However, after years have past and rereading this series, I finally understand the reasons why, and therefore enjoyed the more character driven story. We learn about new characters, whilst leaving the older ones behind, and also learning the complex relationships between people, species, religion and politics. Can't wait to read the next one.
