Good, but not great. The conclusion of the Ender Quartet is long-winded and overly philosophical, and not much actually happens.

I liked the whole quartet. It's a great story... and so much more. I liked the author's afterword, too, which puts an interesting perspective on his thought processes.

So much better than Xenocide.  That ended badly...stupidly maybe?  But this book fixes those bad decisions and makes them make sense.  Worth closing out the series.
