If I were to recommend this series to someone, this would have to be the book I warn them about

And here it starts to detoriate. Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead were both absolutely wonderful, but this isn't. Ok, there are e few things I really liked about the book, but it is in no way on par with the two previous books. Don't read it is you want to remember the series in a good way.

Orson Scott Card said this book was the most wordy and philosophical of the series and he wasn't lying. It also had a lot of physics that was a little hard to understand. I don't think it was as good as the first two, but I don't really know how it could have been better. I didn't care for a lot of the characters, but I was still engrossed in the story. There was constant bickering, and it was a bit annoying.

This book is definitely the most philosophical of the series so far. It had a few really long chapters, which affects how I read a book apart from the actual quality of the book, unfortunately. But I really enjoyed the philosophy and theology and am left with much to contemplate.
