Enjoyed this “wrap up” of the story.

I thought it was better than the previous book in the series (Xenocide), but this book was nothing special.

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.

This book has very little science in the fiction. Too much mysticism and religion. When space travel works by wishing, how is that different than myths and magic?

Too slow for my taste and Ender wasn't even a participant in the story, which is one of the reasons I liked the first book.

A fantastic series, I've never read anything that more directly flies in the face of what (it later turned out) the author believes.
