old girl's war

2 stars

it was okay. the author even wrote in the acknowledgments at the end it is a difficult task

in my view, he partially succeeded. probably because we know too much from the other books (mostly last colony). the novel could have been extra chapters there

not boring, not uninteresting, but a grade lower than the others

the author mentions ender's_shadow as the same kind of book. let's see if card does it better

A 4th book in this series???

3 stars

This book follows up to the old man's war world and it felt a bit like I was working to finish it for the sake of completion.

It is the 3rd book told again from the perspective of the main characters daughter. It literally just covers the same timeline and plot points with a different narrator.

+: sometimes it read like space opera mean girls. It centers a women in the stories. There is a few moments that Zoe's perspective tells part of the story that didn't come up in the 3rd book.

-: You know the plot, twists and turns. It wasn't a good enough book for a second run.
