This book was ten times more sexual than the others for no good reason

It’s so far removed it feels like from the original, and similar to my experience with the Ender series just not the same. The story is not that great, and it seems like a context piece for the next books more than anything?

Listening to this inebriated made it make a lot more sense. The concepts at play are still incredibly cerebral and thought provoking but the scene to scene character interactions leave a lot to be desired. Also, strangely horny? *insert 'would you love me as a worm joke' here*

Not an easy read but definitely a thought provoking one.
