WOW! I'm in awe of what an amazing novel this is! It blew my mind away! Orson Scott Card has definitely impressed me with his writing! There are so many great things about this book that it's so difficult to talk about!This has been recommended to me by a lot of fellow reviewers on Goodreads - saying it's great sci-fi and that I'd personally enjoy it. And did I? YES! I am so glad I read it; it was amazing!What made Ender's Game stick out from other YA novels is the great character development. Each characters is thoroughly thought out, and they each have such unique personalities. They all seem so realistic! Even the supporting characters have a lot of depth to them! I am just blown away by the awesome characters in this book! I especially loved the relationships between the characters. Specifically worth mentioning is the relationship between Ender and Valentine, Ender and Peter, and Ender and his army.
The plot is great as well! Protecting the Earth? An 11-year-old leading in charge of saving humanity? Alien invasions? I'm all for it! I love how Orson Scott Card just piles every aspect of a great science fiction story into Ender's Game! It's phenomenal! The pacing is great as well; there's a lot of action sequences. I also enjoyed the twists that were thrown into the story occasionally. The big plot twist at the end made me really reflect on the story as a whole - it DEFINITELY changed my opinion! Orson Scott Card is a great writer! The writing, additionally, was top-quality. Card is one of those few writers who have this gift to move people through words. Each word Card writes serves a purpose, and I love that!
"Sometimes lies are more dependable than the truth. ~Page 1I enjoyed how there was no romance in the story. FINALLY! An actually good sci-fi without romance! The lack of romance was not only logical (Ender was not even 12 by the end of the story), but it was helpful for me as a reader. There are so many sci-fi and dystopian stories that have romance and bad writing, but Card didn't fall for this trap! He intelligently withdrew the romance and focused on polishing his writing and characterization - and he succeeded!All in all, Ender's Game is a great sci-fi novel and I am so glad I read it! I'd highly recommenced it to fans of Emma Clayton's The Roar and Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games. Enjoy!(Anyone excited for the movie? It's releasing on November 1st and stars Asa Butterfield as Ender!)
