But mostly good with coming to terms with gelling with someone who gets ‘it’. ‘It’ being the time travel scenario. Spoiler alert he isn’t a perv it is just a whole lot of awkward fate stuff....more

But yeah just focusing on ender’s perspective and not going into the earth side dramas would have been more fun for me....more

I like the alternative use of a hyperdrive in this story. I'd recommend for anyone that likes a mix of sci fi, fantasy and good vs evil....more

Ending was a bit flat, but seeing as there are several more books in the series I guess not too bad if you want to read on. I might read the second book in a few years....more

A wrap up of the pulpy plot. No extra cliff hangers, a good place to pause if you don’t want to try and slog through all 11 john carter of mars books at one time. I might leave the series for a while, though I am fond of john, his queen, woola and tars....more

Was a little more gross than the 1st book but the action scenes were pretty good :) It didnt feel like a 1913 story, it felt like a modern day action movie....more

Written like a good old fashioned fairy tale with sci fi clothing. John Carter calls himself a gentleman, but he is more like a rambo character with such a high kill count....more

Pretty much the whole thing was an info dump about empires and organizations i cared little about, there is a little bit of story in each of these 3 books but i was very disappointed after hearing so many glowing reviews. Maybe if you like social experiments with grand reaching political motives then you might find interest in this trilogy....more

So sad to sEar read 2022 Beware the Horseman & thank Xanth for the Night Mare! 5.68/10 This one was a little more cringe than I remember for the others. So sad to see all the characters getting older and being relegated to background characters and background characters becoming mains. So far about Book 1 Bink, Book 2 Bink, Book 3 Bink's son Door, Book 4 Door, Book 5 Door's friend Smash, Book 6 Smash's friend Night Mare...so technically a side character 3 times removed. DX I might give Xanth a rest for a while (I previously yrs ago did an impulse buy and got the 1st 10x books so eventually want to at least get through them). ...more
