La tierra despierta by Orson Scott Card

4.0

Well, that ended with a cliffhanger, as usual. As an avid Ender's Game fan, I love reading these books. But, also as an avid Ender's Game fan, I also kinda dislike reading these books. Each one gets more and more familiar, as if Card and Johnston are recycling many of the ideas from the original series and from the previous 2 books. Oh look, there's a genius 8 year old who can handle problems better than most adults. Is that an "enemy's gate is down" moment I spot over there? And how many times are the characters going to get themselves out of trouble by telling the media that the government or the military ordered them to do it, thus trapping the government/military into praising them rather than punishing them? But despite all this, I truly did love this book, and I was under the impression that it was the third in a trilogy, but now I'm not so sure... Hopefully there will be more to read in the future!!
