Ender in Exile

Not the greatest of books dealing with Ender Wiggin and those he's influenced. It is not a bad read and there is something to be said about reading it for three straight days to finish it but it just did not seem to be as captivating and eye opening as previous novels (especially those from the original four). There are moments when you come to a realization that seemed spectacular but it just didn't seem the same. There are interesting characters and moments but the greatest moments seemed to be when the narrative touched back to the original novel (Ender's Game) and saw those moments from a different perspective. If this book was meant to get one to wish to pick up that novel again then it did a great job at it. Now to find where I left my copy.

PS. What is this in the afterwood about altering a few things in the final chapters of “Ender's Game” to have it coincide more accurately with all other books and short stories. Even if it is just a name change on one page of a random colony, please, Mr. Card, don't begin to alter you books into “Special Editions” (a la Star Wars). Yes I am aware that revisions in novels have occurred since they were first invented. I just feel conflicted.
