pickLow pick. It was very tied to religion for my taste. You can't help but to adore Ender with all his compassion and grace when he travels to the planet "Lusitania." He wants to study a new alien species and to locate the perfect place for the Queen of the Buggers. It ended with humans preparing a war with the rebellious Ender and his new home planet.
pickI loved Ender‘s Shadow just as much—if not more—than Ender‘s Game! Bean‘s journey from the streets to Battle School was riveting, his genius and growth fascinating to watch. His rivalry with Achilles was chilling, and the moment he realized the final battle was real gave me chills. What struck me most was how he embraced Ender‘s shadow with loyalty, not resentment. This book was unforgettable.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickOne my all time favorite books that I enjoyed even more re-reading it after many years. But oh boy, did Paul not share my opinions about this. Join us for a discussion about religion in sci-fi, Orson Scott Card and a of course the sequel to Ender's Game - Speaker for the Dead on episode 44 of the Mind Duck Books Podcast: https://bit.ly/3IJmr8O

pickVery good. Both a philosophical and sci-fi piece of literature which brought the work together brilliantly. It brings to light the difficulties of communication and questions the morality of humans. Very much a man vs self type of story, yet there are parts where it's man vs man or man vs bugger if you want to go there.

so-soJust finished listening to the Audio book for this one and it was a little hard to fallow at times. I liked some of the ideas the book was playing with. Such as the god spoken, and the fight over what to do with the descolada. I think if I‘d read this right after the other books I might have liked it more but it‘s been a while since I‘ve read the first 2 books in the series. Overall I liked it
This book has an amazing rating on good reads, why? idk. I gave it 2 stars
bailedI agree with @TheAromaofBooks - this just doesn't work for me the way it's presented. If it would've been an adult novel about a highly intelligent boy and the society of the future it could've been a deep and intriguing story. But as YA? No, this is just confusing and disturbing.
My fist DNF in 2023.
