I would have liked to hear more about how Ender's brother ruled Earth after the war though, that would've been interesting. I'm also confused as to how the Buggers got into the game system to observe Ender's dream-like sequences enough to know how Ender would react to the places in real life. Maybe these points are covered in the next books, but apparently they're not as good, so I won't be reading them.
Moderate: Physical abuse, Violence, Bullying, and Child death

Read this for a banned book club, and it will be an interesting discussion because of Orson Scott Card's problematic behavior. I'm not sure how much this is still banned because of content, it's something I will have to look up. I am looking forward to our discussion, though!
