Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

5.0

Remember how much we all loved [b:Ender's Game|375802|Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1)|Orson Scott Card|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1408303130l/375802._SY75_.jpg|2422333] when we were younger and, frankly, did not have nearly the diversity of grown-up books for kids that kids have nowadays? You know how poorly that book has aged and how alarming so much of the violence and exploitation seems now?

Well, here's your solution. It's [b:Ender's Game|375802|Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1)|Orson Scott Card|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1408303130l/375802._SY75_.jpg|2422333]. But updated--a premise that makes more sense, a world that's better drawn, more engaging three-dimensional characters, and about 110 percent more awesome.
