Ender’s Game is my favorite book on the planet so when I learned of this book, I bought it immediately. I loved spending more time with Ender. I feel like I see him the way he sees his enemies—I understand him so well I can’t help but love him. And I do, dearly.
I was expecting a little more emotional character development from both Ender and Valentine, but as this is a small part in Ender’s written story I understand that he’s not going to have a full arc in this one book. Even though some POVs were not as much interesting to me, I still ate them up for their worldbuilding and varying opinions on the intricacies of governing/colonization/genocide.
I would recommend this book to lovers of Ender who are wanting more. I will warm you though that it contains spoilers and references to the Ender’s Shadow series. I’m not terribly familiar with that series so some of those plot lines were lost on me, but it was still enjoyable.
