A review by thebeesneesh
Ender in Exile by Orson Scott Card
slow-paced
- Diverse cast of characters? No
1.0
some authors just like to hear themselves talk.
this book could (and should) have been one chapter long. sure, it filled in some gaps between Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead, but it was not worth the 10 hours I spent trudging through this drivel.
this is just Card working his way through pointless arguments to the point of tedium. also, 1) he has no idea how teenagers actually speak, 2) the view of Indians as “less than” in every way and of women as only being good for procreation (and that being their whole personality) was upsetting and turned me off, 3) this book is completely void of emotion and is as if a robot trying to impersonate a human wrote it (a nonzero chance this is true).
I pushed through to finish the Ender quintet but i’m so glad i’m done with this series. the only one i’ll read again is Speaker for the Dead.
