Enders Game > Harry Potter. Period. That was my favorite read in highschool English. I need to get myself a personal copy of the whole series, so far i've only read the first book of Endars Game. That alone was awesome. Anyone know if the following books are even better or on par with the first?Tolwan
well, there are alot so im gonna list em real quick:
Enders Game - Amazing book and beginning of a great series!
Speaker For the Dead - Also a great book, but slower than Enders game, and a lot of portuguese words that may annoy u unless u understand the language (which i luckily do :D) Also this book deals with Ender's mental state after what he did in Ender's Game and it also quickly touches on the political situation on earth after the events of Ender's Game. Very philosophical.
Xenocide - Awesome book, this one starts to head back to the more Sci-fi roots of Enders game. Introduction of one of my favorite Ender's saga "characters." You'll find out why the next book is called "Children of the Mind" at the end of this book.
Children of the Mind - oh man! So much happens in this book. The title has great meaning and you'll love it, this is the final book in the Ender Saga! MUST READ!!!
Ender's Shadow - This is Ender's Game but from Bean's perspective. Great read! I used to hate Bean because he was the only one to be smarter than Ender, but this book explains why and explores his troubled past...trust me, you'll love him after this book! Oh yeah and we get to see more of Achilles!
Shadow of the Hegemon - So what happened next? Well, without spoiling much Ender leaves earth after Ender's game and this series (The Shadow Series) talks about bean's adventures and what happens on earth after ender's departure. And we get to learn more about Val but mostly we get to know Peter as a 3D character, unlike Ender remembers him. Plus it deals with the question "What do you do when the greatest military minds are divided by nations?"
Shadow Puppets - This one is very political, much more than the others but its still very good, and it marks a turning point for the Shadow Saga...you'll see.
Shadow of the Giant - Heartbreaking entry in the Shadow Saga. Very touching but also the best book in the saga plus look out for the reference to a major character in the Ender Saga! And look out for a another Ender/Shadow Saga cross story moment that happens between Ender and Peter!
Shadows in Flight - Im assuming it takes place after the events of Shadow of the Giant. I really want to know what happens, this book isnt out yet, but im pretty sure this would be the final book in the Shadow Saga.
First Meetings - Ender, Peter and Valentine are so smart...but where does this intelligence come from? From Smart Parents of course! This gives us sum insight on how Ender's parent grew up, and how they met and how the "Ender Saga" even came to be.
