Originally published at midureads.wordpress.com on August 4, 2018. I started reading this book at a weird time in my life. A loss that I’m still grieving and new changes make for bad companions. Those reasons could be why I enjoyed reading this book much more than I should have. You’ll see what I...
For some reason, I was under the impression that Speaker for the Dead would be a good stopping point for the series, based on what a friend of mine told me several years ago. I took it to heart, but as I was reading Speaker for the Dead, and really enjoying it, I went back and looked at some friend...
It's been years since I first read this--back when this was the most recent Ender novel. Since then I learned more than I ever wanted to know about Orson Scott Card's beliefs. That has affected my reread. I found with Ender's Game I was struck here and there with things I could see displaying his wo...
Unfortunately a huge disappointment, and so this will be my last attempt to give the Ender Saga another chance.

Th...
It is, for sure, a masterpiece. There are many things you can say against this book, and may you can say to support this book, but you can hardly deny its power. Through the many things that happened since the first volume, I got to love Ender more and more. He is, I think, the perfect character for...
Xenocide almost completes the Ender saga, and what a thoughtful and powerful book it is. 5 Stars. Card tackles some big themes and questions here. (This is not a standalone book, you have to read Speaker for the Dead to really understand this book.) Card does not do space battles in the book althou...
This book gets a 2.5, it just didn't work for me. The Characters felt too fake and the ending was just too perfect. Not everyone gets a happy ever after and this book just had too many HEAs.
