    A mystery that is only resolved near the end makes this a very intriguing read. It explores the theme of what makes us human, personal sacrifice, suffering and redemption. Some sections show the 'old' Ender, the masterful tactician and strategist, but Card does not make this the primary focus. Instead he allows Ender to grow into a more complete person, and leaves an opening for the sequel. It is not Enders Game, but it doesn't try to be.

    Compared to Ender's Game, I didn't really like this one as much. But perhaps that is because when he grew up I felt as if I couldn't really like him as much. I'm not sure.

    Though very different than Ender's Game, this sequel effectively picks up Ender's story and brings him on to adulthood.
