Children of the Mind (Ender, Book 4)

From Orson Scott Card, award-winning and bestselling author of Ender's Game, his first solo Enderverse novel in years. Children of the Fleet is a new angle on Card’s bestselling series, telling the story of the Fleet in space, parallel to the story on Earth told in the Ender’s Shadow series. Ender Wiggin won the Third Formic war, ending the alien threat to Earth. Afterwards, all the terraformed Formic worlds were open to settlement by humans, and the International Fleet became the arm of the Ministry of Colonization, run by Hirum Graff. MinCol now runs Fleet School on the old Battle School station, and still recruits very smart kids to train as leaders of colony ships, and colonies. Dabeet Ochoa is a very smart kid. Top of his class in every school. But he doesn’t think he has a chance at Fleet School, because he has no connections to the Fleet. That he knows of. At least until the day that Colonel Graff arrives at his school for an interview.

Children of the Fleet

Cindy Lieberman

Arrogant boy genius talks his way into space school where he must learn to work with others. Oh, and save everyone. Predictable yet still mildly entertaining audiobook.

In the conclusion of the Ender saga, Ender Wiggin confronts his ultimate challenge when his adopted world, Lusitania, is threatened by his old planet-destroying weapon, and his computer intelligence ally, Jane, is about to be killed off by the Starways Congress. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.

La conclusión a la Saga de Ender es masivamente decepcionante. Sobre todo, si se compara con la magnificencia que es "La Voz de los Muertos". El pecado de Scott Card es haber creado un universo vasto y en extremo complejo, para después cerrarlo de una manera burda y apresurada. Y no empecemos con el hibrido Ender-Peter, porque ahí sí me dan ganas de tirar chingazos. Bueno, ya.

Read this right after Xenocide, good choice as it is really part two of Xenocide. I enjoyed this book, read it very quickly to figure out what would happen next. Found myself truly enjoying the ideas and considering them further, it was truly fun to do so. Character development was good, but I think most of the good development happened during Xenocide. Some of the romance/love stories didn't feel very powerful, though, but that wasn't the focus anyway. Romance sort of just happened.

Never has a book been so good and so bad all at once. After finishing the first two in the Speaker series, I couldn't wait to read the conclusion. Although I did thoroughly enjoy the overall story, the pacing and focus was too spread out for me to enjoy this one in the same way.
