Sid,

I read Enders Game about a year ago, just read Shadow in about 18 hours and am now trying to decide which way to go. I can:

Read in chronological order and finish the Bean quartet or

Finish the Ender books and then move to finish the Shadow books

Thoughts?

I guess it depends on which you would enjoy more...both are very valid choices.

I will say this if it will help you decide:

The Shadow series is more about geopolitical movements. It is scifi, but it takes place in a world very similar to the current one.

The three remaining books of the Ender quartlet are very philosophy driven, and in my opinion, the best books of the entire series.

Especially Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide.

If you would rather save the best for last, read it chronologically.


If you think you will get burnt out reading a dozen books in a series, do it in bursts reading the Ender Quartlet, then the Shadow series, and then fill in the rest here and there.

They are all basically him just filling in some of the holes left in the past books.
