This book did not reach its potential greatness. (view spoiler)[Divorce by suicide through particle disintegration due to loss of will to live. That's about half of the book. Or maybe its about a wife causing her husbands death by emotionally torturing him. I would have liked if they had a more reasonable conclusion to Ender and Novinha's relationship were they come to some sort of understanding. The same with Ender and Peter, where he stops hating that part of himself, I don't see how he would become Peter while he hated Peter. Maybe even choose a new name when he became whole again in the Peter body. Since at that point he isn't Ender, or even a combination of how he saw his two halves of Val and Peter, he was a new person created from the combination of all three plus some changes. The relationship between Val and Miro was forced, would have made more sense as friendship. The marriage of Miro and Jane made some sense they knew one another for a long time. But the marriage of Peter and Si Wang-mu seemed rushed they didn't really spend any time together, but I guess it's to show how close they were despite that. Then of course is the fact that they ignore most of the power creation of the "outside" just because they made a few mistakes the first time. I get it, but they should have at least addressed it more. Should have talked about how this discovery has great potential, list somethings but say it's still to risky since they don't know enough yet. (hide spoiler)]
