Book Reviews of Ender in Exile
Book Review: A Decent Book Ruined by the Author
Summary: 2 Stars
Orson Scott Card's first four Ender books have a revered place on my SF bookshelf. However, whatever he had going for him at the time he wrote them has seemed to have faded completely through the Bean series and now there is very little left of Card's mastery. What's replaced it is an irritating and overwhelming preachiness--Card makes every opportunity to clumsily try to ram his LDS-inspired 'morality' down everyone's throat. You'll see not-at-all subtle slams on homosexuality and a lot of calls for man-woman monogamy. Of course you should only have sex to reproduce too.
It's a pity, because the story itself isn't bad. But a novel isn't a soapbox for its author to preach his views to a captive audience. Stick with the first four novels, before the LDS church lobotomized him and turned him into Mormon Zombie Card.
