Ender's Shadow
by Orson Scott Card
I liked this book more and more as I read it. It was really interesting to see the story of Ender's game from bean's perspective. At the same time, I didn't always buy the explanations for why bean was never given more credit or recognition in the original story. But I loved Bean's emotional growth and see a worthy antagonist in Achilles. Ultimately, it made me love Ender even more than I did before, which was the opposite of what I expected when I started reading. I thought it would make me like Bean more than Ender. But they're just different- Bean is so remarkable and brilliant, but I just love Ender's compassion and the way he can truly inspire his soldiers. It was an enjoyable read. I may tackle the sequels at some point when there are fewer books on my docket.
