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.

I'll tell you what Orson Scott Card is great at writing absolute assholes.

I felt that he still left some things up in the air, but I guess you can never solve EVERYTHING or you'd be writing the same series forever. This one was also very good, but for some reason that I can't quite put a finger on, I just didn't like it as well as the first two. I think I liked it better than Xenocide, though. This was a great series, and one that I'd readily recommend and will surely read again someday.

This was my least favorite of Ender's Saga. I didn't like Jane. I didn't like Peter. I detested Wang-Mu and Peter's relationship. Verbally abusive guy who is transformed only by the unconditional love of a woman who sees the good in him no matter how mean he is. But it did resolve well, and I'm looking forward to Ender in Exile.

It has been a while since I read it, but I remember liking it.

I love sci-fi, and this series was recommended to me. However only this was available at my local bookstore! Dipping in during the middle of a series made for a slow start, but I was able to quickly immerse myself in the plot without needing much of the backstory to get there. Straight forward, engaging science fiction
