And now you've got me to read Enders Game again.

I read it as a kid and was pretty fond of it. Well too fucking bad.

I reread it every now and then. OSC might be a crazy Mormon but the books of his I already owned when I found out, don't really reflect that. They're all about understanding and empathy for people who are different from you - the whole Ender's Game series, the Alvin Maker series, even Wyrms. It's such a weird discrepancy.

Then you look at the Mither Mages..... where the last book devolves into the teenage girls fighting over who gets to be impregnated by the MC....

No, I don't think I'll look at that one, thank you for the warning.

I reread it after just how bad the movie was had me questioning if my opinion was too colored by nostalgia. Nope, it was even better than I remembered.
