Review of "Ender's Shadow" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I love when stories are retold from a different perspective. I loved Ender's Game, so when I heard about Ender's Shadow which is told from the viewpoint of a different character, I knew I had to read it. I like how it was a good blend of retelling the story from a different perspective, but it was also a unique story with its own plot and drama. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that there were a few brief section that really made me roll my eyes (including a speech where "and then everybody clapped"). But otherwise I loved this book and would definitely recommend it!
