Review of 'Shadow of the Hegemon (Ender, Book 6)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was definitely a very different book than [b:Ender's Shadow|9532|Ender's Shadow (Shadow, #1)|Orson Scott Card|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1316131738s/9532.jpg|3145587]. In fact, I'm not even sure I would classify it as science fiction. It was, more than anything, a book about war.

The part I liked the best was the greater characterization of the Wiggin parents. In [b:Ender's Game|375802|Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1)|Orson Scott Card|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1316636769s/375802.jpg|2422333], I couldn't stand those characters. They didn't make sense to me, and seemed completely out of place. I just didn't understand how those two people could be the parents of Peter, Valentine, and Ender. But in Shadow of the Hegemon, we finally got to learn more about who Mr. and Mrs. Wiggin really are, and now they finally make sense to me.

I also liked to see Peter's development. He's become, in my opinion, one of the most dynamic characters of the series. He grew and developed so much in Ender's Shadow, and Shadow of the Hegemon. I really like the direction that [a:Orson Scott Card|589|Orson Scott Card|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1294099952p2/589.jpg] has taken him.
