minus-squaregerikson@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 months agoThanks for the link. I read a ton of SF but Card always passed me by. I tried to read a followup/sequel/fixup called Ender’s Shadow years ago and couldn’t get through it. BTW another big series I could never get through was “Thomas Covenanter” or something, although it was fantasy.
minus-square-dsr-@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 months agoThe main character commits rape because this isn’t a real universe anyway. You made the right choice.
minus-squaregerikson@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 months agoI think I remember reading about that. Ick. I also remember reading on the back of the book that the protag would 3 times be offered to stay in the Land and be cured, or something, and 3 times reject the offer. Way to spoil! This is a pretty good takedown of the series (and other shitty plot devices in SF/F): https://news.ansible.uk/plotdev.html
