Review of "Ender's Shadow." on 'Goodreads'

Garbage
Paperback, 480 pages

When Bean is sent to Battle School, he is constantly compared to the great Ender Wiggin, but Bean knows things Ender doesn't even dream of. And Bean knows that he can help Ender.
Garbage
Bean was probably my favorite character from Ender's Game other than Ender himself. I was shocked while reading this book to take in the events from Bean's perspective. Really had to go back and reread Ender's Game with all the new information, gave an entirely different twist.
Bean comes across as far more of an anti-hero here than he does in Ender's telling of it.
Still just as good as the first time I read it
So far this was my least favorite of the series. Retelling the "same" story from another character is an interesting idea but somehow fell flat overall.
