I head mixed reviews and was pleased enough with Ender's Game as a complete story I just don't feel the need to explore other stories in that universe.

The Bean side series is good imo and worth reading.

Also where is the Shizune/Hanako/Emi representation yo

I actually read Ender's shadow before reading Ender's game. I felt orson scott cards writing felt a bit more complete with shadow, than it was with game, but both were extremely good. My favorite is probably still Speaker for the Dead.

I still think Ender's Game is best, but maybe because when I read it I was hard into space battles and such.

Heh. quite possibly.
Also, don't know how such a douchebag can write such a great series.

Keep it up.

It's posts like these that created this forum in the first place. We should dolphinetly try to improve them.


[image loading]

Ender's Shadow definitely had better writing overall, but it also suffers from OSC trying too hard to write about supergeniuses and repeatedly driving in JUST HOW DAMN SMART Bean is to the point where it got a bit awkward and cringey.

Still a fantastic book though. Ender Game/Shadow satisfied soooo many nerd fantasies of introverted nerdy kids everywhere XD

Not even close. The thing that makes them interesting (for me anyway) is the flaws and oddities that make each character unique.

Yeah. But they cry every once in a while so they're flawed.

Nobody likes Shizune.

Ender's Game + Ender's Shadow best


Fuck you I like Shizune. REPRESENT.

You probably need a hug. :/


w/e when everyone realize she's the best I'll just *hipster shades*

Congrats Asmo, you're now promoted above OWB.

Too bad MoonBear goes mod actions where MoonBear pleases.

If Req's LoL Roleplaying thing catches on I'll link it in the OP.
