Bestselling author Orson Scott Card brings to life a new chapter in the saga of Ender's Earth and The Shadow Series. 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. Shadow Puppets 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.
Same critique as last time: This book is not relevant science fiction and instead political suspense, which I am not interested in. Most of the other problems remain as well. Who wants to read a book about paranoid characters in hiding? My hope for the finale is a strong focus on uniting the world. Get it done OSC. ( )
Overall good. This books follows further down the path with Bean, Petra and Peter. In particular it furthers the relationship of Petra and Bean. I am really liking the stories of this series. These are not action packed rather character driven and most about politics. Having read several of the negative reviews I would say ignore the one star reviews. They are mostly people who simply hate OSC for not sharing their point of few in the world and are intolerant. ( )
Ender y su equipo de niños precoces han contribuido a la victoria de la humanidad frente a los insectores. La humanidad se ha salvado, pero han resurgido los viejos problemas provocados por la ambición, la política y la guerra. El planeta se ha fraccionado en multitud de pequeños estados, controlados por los niños precoces, y un nuevo conflicto entre esos países y las dos grandes potencias en expansión -China y el Islam- se avecina.
I read this book in one day (granted, while travelling) so it was good enough to not want to put it down. While it wasn't amazing I am definitely interested in the characters and their arcs. However, I did feel that the writing was a bit heavy handed, childish, and preachy at times. I'm not reading it for the author's craft (if you want that, go run get The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss) but to see where everyone ends up. Ultimately this is the 7th (? wow) book I've read by OSC and it feels like things are getting weaker. However, I'll probably stick it out and read the next one. ( )

Bean kind of liked being tall, even though it was going to kill him.

In the aftermath of the war, while Indians, Thais, Burmese, Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Laotians searched their onetime conquerors' land for family members who had been carried off, Bean and Petra also searched as best they could by computer, hoping to find some record of what Volescu and Achilles had done with their lost children.
