Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card

4.0

Such a joy to have a new Ender book. This "midquel" takes place in between chapters 14 and 15 of Ender's Game and is best read after the Bean/Shadow series. I really enjoyed the exploration of how Ender would have felt right after the war and his family including Valentine (who makes more mistakes than she thinks) and his parents (who aren't as stupid as one would think). I LOVED the story of Shakespeare colony and the book has given me the desire to continue on to the Speaker of the Dead series, which I wasn't really interested in the past. I do feel like I should have re-read the Bean series (and not just Ender's Game) right before reading this, so I'd take that into consideration if I were you.
