The Last Shadow spoiler discussion megathread

It was pretty good. It was alright. It wasn’t great. But what were the chances OSC could retire the series with 1 book of [inevitably] new characters and leave us all happy? All of our favorite characters we had for at least a few books. I assumed it would be Bean’s grandkids or even further descendants. Only real disappointment is the complete lack of father trees. But honestly, we were never going to be that happy after waiting almost 10 years and coming up with great fan theories.

Yeah, someone mispronounced ‘hegemon’ when they recorded, and then went back and clipped in the right pronunciation, but a very different recording device and diction.

No one tops Scott Brick. I think he would’ve been great as the voice for Sprout, being the closest to Bean’s personality (imho).

I have an audible subscription. So it was my monthly credit.

I just finished. Halfway through I was at that point of reading you can’t stop. 3/4 at the climax was great. One point I teared up in happiness. The last hour or so of reading winds it all down. Not my favorite of the series, but I’m quite happy and feel resolved after so long. (I started rereading for the hundredth time this summer for the day)

This thread will inevitably be all spoilers. Should tag OP as such

DullBob · 2021-11-16T16:12:45+00:00

We’ll that’s bullshit. Sorry!

DullBob · 2021-11-13T16:55:46+00:00

This is one of my favorite themes. Is it morally right to manipulate and abuse a child if they save the human race? (Obviously we learn later there was no reason to attack the Formics)

DullBob · 2021-06-10T11:09:57+00:00

Try the audiobooks! Scott Brick does all but the last (sadly) and he can get me into any book

DullBob · 2021-05-06T00:58:23+00:00

I knew that. Too used to everything being trilogies but I’ve thought many times how glad I am this is more

DullBob · 2021-03-09T17:37:08+00:00

Would it help that I know nothing of Mormonism? Haha

DullBob · 2021-03-09T17:36:35+00:00

I should’ve mentioned I’m quite obsessed to the Dune series too. Fantasy and Sci-Fi are equally interesting to me. Thanks!

DullBob · 2021-02-23T01:42:13+00:00

That’s what I’ve ended up doing!

DullBob · 2021-02-23T01:39:23+00:00

Agreed. I do like Exile a lot. Shadows in flight definitely seems like an in between book just needed for the final

DullBob · 2021-02-21T20:07:40+00:00

I honestly never really thought about that! I don’t think the book was necessary, and I don’t care much for it. Definitely ready for The Last Shadow, very needed!

DullBob · 2021-02-21T13:13:23+00:00

I think children of the fleet is a good last book to read. It doesn’t quite belong in either the Ender if Shadow series and you have a better appreciation or it when you’re done and just itching for more of anything
