Felt forced
submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on June 15, 2022, 10:42pm
Meh. In the end I should have stuck with _Ender’s Game_ and left the whole thing there. _The Last Shadow_ answered some questions, but overall felt forced.
I got this book from the library, because given Card's homophobic beliefs (he is my generation's JK Rowling), there was no way I would buy this book and give him money. Now I'm kind of sad I even gave him my time.
Nothing stuck with me. submitted by Nehemiah9 on August 20, 2022, 4:14pm I read this book in March 2022 so about 5 months ago and I couldn't remember one thing about it until I really thought about it. Maybe it was necessary because of how things were left with the previous Bean book but didn't really feel like it was reading it.
