A review by emzapk
Xenocide by Orson Scott Card

3.0

I've reread this series many times and this is by far the weakest book. It's interesting with some novel ideas and concepts but far too philosophical and talk-heavy.

Unrelated to the quality of the actual book, this time through I listened to the audiobook - would NOT recommend. The worst audiobook I've ever listened to. The Hive Queen's "voice" was unbearable, and the Chinese accent the narrator took on to narrate Wang-mu's chapters was insensitive and, frankly, badly done. I was very disappointed.
