Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
3.0
I think man my fans of Ender’s Game that were in it for the sci-fi battles and classic space settings will not be that thrilled with this continuation of Ender’s story.
However I think that this is a good story that explores cultural religious differences and how we navigate relationships of both political and emotional with these values.
I really enjoyed the emotional progress of the characters and didn’t mind the Calvinistic under ones. Though a little on the nose at times, this book does what I think was a major strength of the first of creating a complex but clear world for younger readers to start to interact with major themes of our society without it being “kid lit.”
