This is a huge change of tone from other Ender’s Game books. It’s hard to say if this even counts as sci-fi, it’s more of a political intrigue/thriller.

I think I would rate it higher if I knew what to expect, but I was expecting more sci-fi stuff so I was a little disappointed.

I really like Card’s style of writing though.
