Loved

I feel like Ender's Game is kind of one of the juggernauts of the science fiction genre and for me it's definitely one that lives up to the hype I also love the battle School scenes the tactics of the battles

Loved

his character development and his prose are all just he hits all of these different very Beats at such a higher level the fact that he can combine all of them into a wildly ambitious tale is so impressive to me

Loved

it completes the story arc yes it doesn't have the same structure yes it's a little bit slow to get into but I thought it was so satisfying so some of my favorite sci-fi reading moments came from the fall of Hyperion

Loved

I am a fan of the Forever War I thought that it did the themes it explored the themes to do with what it's like being a soldier in war with more of this the Sci-Fi elements like the technology the battles the aliens the time dilation all of those things I think he combined in a really successful way to tell a powerful story both on a sort of a macro level in terms of like human society large scale conflict as well as the personal side as well I connected with the characters

Mixed

I read it and I enjoyed aspects of it I liked miles as a character but I felt like the story was a little bit disjointed it felt like multiple stories that were kind of stitched together and I didn't super connect with it overall even though I liked elements of it
