Ender’s Shadow is the second book in the Ender’s Game series that follows Bean. There’s another direction of the series that follows Ender, but this story retraces the steps of the first book from a new perspective
The coolest thing about the Ender’s Game Series, or Saga, is that the series goes in two different directions. After the first book you can choose what story you want to follow first. The next book could either follow Ender, and there’s a whole series dedicated to that side of the story, OR you can follow Bean and there’s another series dedicated to this character and his story. I chose Bean, hence the name, Ender’s Shadow.
Ender is the main character and the star of the first book, and this doesn’t change very much in the second book, but you see the underlying reasons why things happen for Ender the way that they do during the story. So as you can guess, Ender’s Shadow retraces a new character through the same timeframe as the first book. I really liked the first book, Ender’s Game, but compared to the first book Ender’s Shadow is phenomenal. It’s so entertaining and intriguing. You really find how truly intelligent and masterful Bean is and it’s captivating. It also gives you more insight into just how desperate the officials are to find the right mind and the
right person who can lead the armies against the buggers.
