Decent but not excellent YA. I only finished this a couple of months ago but had to go through other reviews to remember what happened, which is not a great sign for the writing.
As this was written well before our current pandemic, I found the premise frighteningly prescient and the way the Enders treated the Starters completely believable. But otherwise it was good, light reading and not much more, with an unsatisfying ending. Unsure if I'll bother pick up the next book or not.
