A review by amburrella
Earth Unaware by Orson Scott Card
4.0
This book was picked out for an online book club I have with some friends, and I will preface it by saying I’ve never read Ender’s Game nor is this a book I would’ve picked up for myself upon first glance.
Wow am I glad I got to read it.
The imagery is so vivid, I read well into a few nights because I just didn’t want to put the book down. The jumping POV gives a good scope of all the angles of the story and how the characters view one another. There is one POV I think hinders the story, as this specific character isn’t even in space with the rest of the cast. As someone who’s never read Ender’s Game, the references from this character don’t make sense to me and drag the momentum the book had.
The opening of the book is also a bit uncomfortable and that same theme is drawn out through the rest of the book and is another personal downside I have.
Other than those two things, I truly can say this book is worth the read for anyone who loves sci-fi. I grew attached to these characters and cried and mourned with them and their endeavors.
