Helpful Score: 3

Good read - but not quite as good for me as Riding the Storm. Several reasons apply: the hero was the poster boy for Jerks Anonymous [sure he had issues but ...], and the heroine had to have sex every four hours or she'd die [sounds like a nonsurvival trait to me] which chops up the flow of the story. It's hard to stage the Great Escape when you have to stop to have wild sex every four hours. That said, it was still a good read with lots of page-turning action of both types. Make it 4.5

One of the things I admire about this series is the way there is a primary plot [in this case Ender and Kira] which completes within the covers of the book while other stories are started that will complete in later books. In many series, previous characters are abandoned or only have small walk-ons. Not so with these books, although new characters are introduced regularly, the old ones continue to have significant roles. You learn to care deeply about all of them, and wait with a notable lack of patience for the next book to see how 'it all works out' for characters that have become friends.

Read these in order!
