Explanation During Books Shadow Puppets (The Shadow Series #3)
Bestselling author Orson Scott Card brings to life a new chapter in the saga of Ender's Earth. Earth and its society have been changed irrevocably in the aftermath of Ender Wiggin's victory over the Formics. The unity forced upon the warring nations by an alien enemy has shattered. Nations are rising again, seeking territory and influence, and most of all, seeking to control the skills and loyalty of the children from the Battle School. But one person has a better idea. Peter Wiggin, Ender's older, more ruthless, brother, sees that any hope for the future of Earth lies in restoring a sense of unity and purpose. And he has an irresistible call on the loyalty of Earth's young warriors. With Bean at his side, the two will reshape our future. Here is the continuing story of Bean and Petra, and the rest of Ender's Dragon Army, as they take their places in the new government of Earth.

I used to be the sort of person who prided herself on not quitting a book. Much as I flit from one project to another, leaving things unfinished, books and movies deserved my full efforts, no matter how abysmal they might seem in the beginning. Thanks to a run of bad novels, I've changed my mind. Life is too short to finish a book that doesn't grip you. It's definitely too short to finish a book that makes you roll your eyes, chapter after chapter. I trudged through the first hour or two of thisWarning, there are some (vagueish) spoilers here.I was eager to read this one, since I thoroughly enjoyed Shadow of the Hegemon, but it was severely disappointing. The romance is terribly done. Almost worse than the one in Episode II, that's how bad it is. It's bad enough that the ending of Hegemon seemed like a "save the princess" adolescent male fantasy, but Petra almost completely ceases to be an interesting character with her own motivations in this one, her sole purpose now completely
AND LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR... For those of you interested in learning to make hand shadow puppets or reading more about the movie starring James Marsters, I invite you to check out their entries in Wikipedia for more information. For those interested in the origin and history of the band consisting of Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals...well...you should be ashamed of yourselves and I will not be an enabler for you. For this review, we will be
I really wanted to finish this one but honestly I can't.Enders Game was a great read.Enders Shadow for me was even better with a completely different viewpoint on essentially the same backstory. Shadow of the Hegemon picked up after the Formic Wars and - while being completely earthbound - still managed to keep me engaged. All about Bean in hiding, trying to rescue his former Battleschool comrades form insane Achilles.All good and fine but Shadow Puppets killed it for me after seven chapters. Up
I'm going through the 10 novels in the Enderverse, and this one is my 8th (Shadow of the Giant, and Shadows in Flight are the last two). I really liked the previous 7 books, but this book was just a dud.We get it, Card. You think a sperm and egg are a full human being. I didn't really need a Muslim character discussing this at length...then an Othodox Christian discussing this at length...then the Catholic Church's position agreeing with this....then somehow Bean the Atheist jumps on the
Orson Scott Card - you may think that unless you have babies your life is meaningless (in fact you must think that, as so many of your characters gives us at least one lecture on it at one point or another in this novel) but guess what? I don't think that, and there are plenty of other people like me out there that don't think it either. The only thing that continually trying to ram this fallacy down my throat does is make me wonder whether a. you've been brainwashed b. you're not convinced but
