Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
5.0
Just wow! Whilst I like Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead is a whole different ball game. The level of imagination and the themes it wrrestles with are just... almost undescribable. I know that Speaker for the Dead is widely considered to be a fantastic sequel but it easily lives up to the hype.
It's central mystery is so engaging and, thankfully its resolution is strong so it doesn't suffer from Lost syndrome of giving an unsatisfying answer to an interesting mystery.
It's almost hard to believe that the same author wrote both Ender's Game and Speakwr for the Dead; they're so stylistically different. One of the most unique and thought-provoking sci-fi books I've read in recent times.
Just an absolute gem and a book I would happily recommend to any reader. The only thing I'm sad is that I wish a speaker for the dead was a real concept rather than just fictional. It's ideas will guaranteed linger on my mind.
