A review by ilariasroom
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card

4.5

incredibly genius and i expected nothing less from my man orson scott card… the commentary on family, religion, self sabotage and forgiveness, on genocide and atonement, on the skill and patience and impossibility yet somehow learnt possibility of understanding… all of it was genius and an extremely fulfilling sequel to an already extremely insightful novel. the only reason i give it slightly less than 5 stars is because i do feel the approach to the ending fell a little flat, although it was still very much a suitable and meaningful conclusion for a powerful piece of work.
