It’s a brilliant text. No one can deny Orson Scott Card’s mastery of storytelling. It’s a bit too dark for my personal tastes to end up as a 5 star. But I was surprised at how often I ended up laughing out loud and smiling along with the book. Would recommend
Shoutout Bean. Ender’s Game is a fantastic read showing the struggles Ender faces with family, constant threat of wanting friends and officers pushing his limits. There are moments that felt like a slump (due to not understanding what was happening at times), but calls for such an enthralling story of a kid just wanting to be home. Each character serves a purpose and has an attachment to them that adds to the story rather than holding it back. A lot to unpack in this book and twists that I certainly didn't expect.

okay i'll be completely transparent with this rating : i loved this book. this was the first sci-fi book i read on my own and was something that helped me come to terms with who i was as an individual at a very young age.
that being said, fuck Orson Scott Card

Was not for me. I almost put it down but instead I just skipped pages half way through just to finish. I do think the kids were way too young not only to be fighting a “war” but talking the way they were like they were way older. Don’t recommend.
