Dammit. <i>It felt like Card himself was writing out of a sense of obligation rather than excitement because the prose and action felt so passive.</i> I'm wondering if he's starting to write himself in a corner with the Ender books. I'm sure he does care about his characters and is genuinely interested in exploring the trajectories of their lives, but that kind of dutiful writing is exactly what bothered me in the latter Bean books. Maybe he should just lay the Enderverse characters to rest, at least for a while.
