Ender’s Shadow feels like an extension of Ender’s Game, even more than feeling like a separate book. All the other books are good, but Ender's Game is I’m officially having some weird variety of a crisis of faith. The Ender Series follows Andrew Wiggin 's life, while the Shadow Series follows Bean 's (Julian Delphiki). It is definitely my favorite of the one's that I have read. Bean firmly believes that he cannot let his emotions and compassion get in the way of his decisions and Ender completes his mission by becoming a guy who considers himself heartless and evil. Ender's Game is one of my favorite stories of all time. She loves Bean and misses him but when she found him she was looking for recruits for Battle School and realises that the world may need Bean at Battle School.

Though let’s be fair, while he is manipulative he is not as deceptive as you’d expect; before taking Ender to Battle School, he warns Ender that it will probably tear him apart emotionally. Graff and Carlotta sort of manipulate each other the way Bean and Graff do. It might just be because I read Ender's Game first, but a lot of Ender's Shadow felt like a rehash of the first book stripped of a lot of the philosophical/moral struggles, so even though I like Bean better as a character Ender's Game had a much bigger impact on me.
