I've got mixed feelings about this book. It's not a bad book, It's well written enough but it feels so much like the author is playing deus ex machina to make everything work out!

If you’d have told the faye who was reading Enders Game that in 3 books her favourite character would be Peter she’d tell you to go fuck yourself.

Good book, although my dumbass kept putting off finishing it for stupid games or tiktok

There's more of "fi" than "sci" in this sci-fi.
Everything fit a bit too perfectly together. No one has to die and everyone is happy. Even the person who died, Ender, is not really dead.
The philotic links and aiuas explained and solved all problems.

I still enjoyed the book, the philosophy and the story line, just wish it was up to the mark with Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead.

The series in itself was quite gripping and a fun read.

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