vlthrasher 's review for:

Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card
5.0

This book was really cool! I really liked how much overlapped with Ender's Game and how consistent it was. I also really liked the story- a little more meandering than other Enderverse books but given the purpose of the book was much more about world-building/character-development I was ok with it. I also really liked how much the reader was kept in the dark to Ender's plans. We lost some of the thought-process fun from the earlier books but gained in surprise/suspense which was worth it. The only downside was I read this before reading Shadow Puppets and Shadow of the Giants so I was a little spoiled there.
