Holy moly. This book was just AMAZING. It was thrilling, fast-paced, had clever plot-twists, strong protagonists, mind-blowing action, this book was everything I wanted and more in a sci-fi book.

We have Ender, a child prodigy accepted to a space academy (Battle School) training to defeat aliens from a different galaxy. His journey takes him all over the world and not a single page was boring or dull.

Some people may argue that this book does not give enough of character development or just had poor characterisation. I disagree with this and did not have an issue but where this book really excels at is world building. If you are an avid fan of fantasy or sci-fi and loves intricate plots and amazing amazing world building, you would love this book.

However I feel that different ages or people from different backgrounds may not enjoy this as much for multiple reasons that I cannot really explain, I just feel it. I've also noticed many adults did not enjoy this book due to the characters all being child prodigies or "its unrealistic" and that "children can't be that mature" and whatnot. For this reason I recommend this book mostly to YA readers (maybe also to mature middle-grade readers because there are a generous amount of violence in this book).

Was this book absolutely perfect though? Well no. But it was really really close.
