The female characters don’t really do much or mean much in this story.Īlso, it like after Enders Game and Soeaker for the Dead that OSC’s writing became just people arguing or talking about what they were doing, should do, or should have done different. I know Alessandra wasn’t a battle school kid but she would have been a lot more interesting if she could think for herself… First her mother thinks for her then Ender thinks for her which helps he get liberated from her mother’s influence. Or the weird focus on females being sex objects and that their purpose is almost strictly for breeding and creating genetic diversity in the colonies. Nothing like their relationship as portrayed in Enders Game when he takes leave Earthside and he and Val have a heart to heart on the lake…ĭon’t get me started on Admiral Morgan, dorabella and Alessandra. It also avoids much interaction between Ender and Valentine, when they do interact it’s pretty much pointless or cryptic bickering, Val is prying, annoying, self assured and a know it all about a brother she’s been separated from for 6-7 years… Ender is withdrawn and wants little to do with his sister who sacrificed her life on earth with her parents to be with him. BTW no mention that there are spoilers for the Shadow books I hadn’t read yet.
Also filling in history, mainly before/during the final chapter of Enders Game and spanning or summarizing the first few Shadow novels. It is pretty much a hodge podge of different short stories and filled in blank spots in between. I was expecting something much different than this. Review 3: Ender in Exile Audiobook by Geoff Atkins A pleasant enough read, but nothing that really challenges the reader. It lacks the sophistication of Ender’s Game and Xenocide. Card seems to have written this book to appeal to a middle-school audience. I see all the 5 star reviews, but actually find this book to be slow, even boring, with a much less creative story line. I read the Ender quartet straight though and then immediately picked up this book. Review 2: Ender in Exile Audiobook by Thomas P. I am not sure if OSC is a veteran, but he certainly encapsulated a feeling that is only a few years younger than war itself. If you are looking for a gift for a recently-discharged veteran who likes to read (and most of us do, Combat Zones are filled with boredom), this is a great way to tell them “Welcome Home” and make them realize that they aren’t broken for feeling a combination of shame, pride, confusion, and chronic boredom now that they are civilians. There were a few people and plot points that were confusing (almost certainly because they were from the “Shadow” story arc), but the story did a great job bridging the gap between Ender’s Game’s final chapter and the Epiloge, as well as between the Epiloge and Speaker.Īs a side note, as a recently-returned veteran, there was a lot in this story that spoke to me personally. Ender in Exile combines the two storylines, but is much more similar in style to the mainline. I read Ender’s Shadow and didn’t like that line as much, so didn’t follow that thread. I read the “mainline” Ender books, (“Ender’s Game, Speaker of the Dead, Genocide, Children of the Mind, and Xenocide) and loved them all. Review 1: Ender in Exile Audiobook by Ben Here are the top 3 reviews and comments that readers love about this fascinating book. We invite you to listen to this fascinating story. We invite you to watch the next development of this great book. He founded the Eros detachment, he left his homeland and began a long journey across the colonies. Not only did he win the game, he was a hero, a saver of the World, a brilliant military genius. At the end of Ender’s, Andrew Wiggin is informed that he must not live on Earth.
