I finished the series a week or so ago actuallyIt was some good shit, it seemed like there ought to have been another book about theSpoilerDescoladores unless that's what the shadow ones are about.
Whatever interest I may have had in the series dissipated when I discovered what kind of person Card is.

Shadows Alive is supposed to the Bean and Ender's story together, but who knows how that will work given Spoilerthat both characters are dead at this point.

Have you read Shadows in Flight? Apparently I read some weird abridged version of it, but I thought it was just garbage.
I saw the movie and wasn't impressed. Is the book better?
