While I enjoyed "Ender's Game" and found the story captivating with its focus on the psychological aspects of war, it is hard to talk about it without acknowledging that it has a pretty problematic protrayal of women. Not only aren't a lot of non-male characters, those who are present are lacking in agency. It's a good book, but writen by someone with outdated views and that shows quite clearly.
It is the book that showed me I could like science fiction, so that's a big plus. I now discovered ones I enjoy a lot more. Those from Ursula K. Le Guin for example.
