" I really like prequels to stories I have enjoyed, it adds some depth to the original story here with some noticeable enhanced storytelling from the original Ender's Game story. "

" OSC is back. After a disppointing read in Ender in Exile I thoroughly enjoyed this prequel. Great characters, great science fiction, a definite page turner. "

" This story is really good. It has a great flow and is lots of fun. I would have easily given it 5 stars except for one thing: it ended at a pretty random spot in the story, and (spoiler alert) it doesn't cover the entire First Formic War. Other than that, it's really good. "

" I really liked this book. It was a refreshing new look into the Ender universe. "

" This prequel to my favorite series was as good as I had hoped. I just wish I didn't have to always wait for the next book. Patience isn't a strength of mine. :) "

" More Enderverse. What were you expecting "

" As noted by others, this takes place before the Ender series. The title implies that this is the beginning of a new series. I hope so since it ends rather abruptly with a number of loose ends which will, I hope, be developed further so that it will dovetail better with the Ender series. "

" I loved reading about what happened before the Formica came to earth. The deep space mining clans were fascinating to me. I can't get the idea of dogs in zero gravity out of my head. I want to know wha happens to victor next! It was so great to return to the Ender- verse, or per Ender- verse! "

" This makes up for the disappointment I felt about Ender in Exile and Shadows in Flight. I suspect it has to do with Aaron Johnston co-authoring this book. "

" LOVED it. I am quite attached to all the Enderverse-related books, & it excites me that the author is still writing more for it. Not only still writing, but still writing stuff that is exciting & interesting & all the stuff I like about the stuff I like. "

" Leaves you wanting more. Very believable and a very good read. "

" I'm not convinced Orson Scott Card had anything to do with writing this novel, with the exception of perhaps the idea itself. Not his style of writing; and although I enjoyed it, I didn't love it. "
- Michelle, 8/15/2013

" I love how Orson Scott Card writes his characters. I loved the characters before the first chapter was done. One character never made an actual appearance, just was referenced alot, and I still loved her. THis is obviously going to be another series, so I will be looking forward to the rest. "

" Some people didn't seem to like this book, but I really enjoyed finding out about how the buggers managed to reach Earth Unaware. What can I say? I just enjoy everything I have ever read from Orson Scott Card. "

" Another great and quick read from Orson Scott Card. "
- Troy, 2/24/2013
-
" Good backstory. Not as good as the original group of books, but those are hard to beat. For a series that has been really dragging it out as much as possible, it's great. "
- Renee, 1/21/2013
-
" Oh no! It's a cliffhanger. I want the next one now but it's not written yet. Card, please hurry up ;) "
- Karina, 10/10/2012
-
" Great book. Looking forward to the rest of the formic wars coming out. Card is a great author and this is too great a story line to just let it drop after the ender series! "

" Good book. Good background to original Ender story. "

" I was incredibly excited to get this book and start reading, and then disappointed when I read that it is the first in a three part series. Oh well. I liked it, but it wasn't nearly as good as the Ender books. I wish books 2 & 3 were out already though. "

" Can't wait for the next one! "
