Compared to previous books in this series, this one seemed to drag out a bit and wasn't nearly as engrossing but I still enjoyed it. It is sad to see certain storylines end after so much time invested with them, but all good things do end. ( )

¡Cannot get enough of Orson Scott Card!
Most of the information has already been introduced in the previous book (Xenocide), yet it is still beautiful and breathtaking. I do not know if this conclusion to the Ender Quarter stands so well without its predecessor.
I am eager to start the last half of the series, The Shadow Series. ( )

4th book in the Ender’s Game series continues in an interesting way but is not a great story. There’s a mix of credible science mixed with the more fantastical and the author seems to shy away from the questions this work could be asking. I still intend to get to the Shadow series at some point. ( )

The fourth and final, for now, book in the Ender series. It picks up right where Xenocide finished. Indeed the author has said that originally the two books were conceived as one. This book wraps up the stories of Ender, piggies, hive queen, Jane and the descolada. Well mostly, there is one big (and new) thread that is left dangling. In the afterword (of the audiobook) the author touches on that and says that a future book that ties the Ender series and Shadow series together will also tie up the dangling thread. So I am excited about that.
This was first time I have read this book. I had read the prior three several times but always got series burn out before getting to this one. I am glad I have read it. I give it only 3 stars however. The rating of 3 stars to me means it still is a good book but that there was something missing or some other issue. For me the issue was that some of the emotional and philosophical scenes were a little long. The purpose of the scenes were fine, just that a lot of words were used to describe them. This can cause me to lose interest in the dialog or can lead to series fatigue.
Anyway, if you love the Ender series or the way that OSC writes then I would certainly recommend finishing it out as we all wait for the final novel.

I wish there was more to the ending ( )
