I have found the best reading order for the Enders series is as follows:
Enders Game
Enders Shadow
Shadow of the Hegemon
Shadow Puppets
Shadow of the Giant
Shadows in Flight
Speaker for the Dead
Xenocide
Children of the Mind
Ender in Exile
First Meetings
A War of Gifts
If you don’t want to tackle the entire series, Enders Game and Enders Shadow
are must reads and the Shadow series(Hegemon,Puppets, Giant) is far better
than the rest of the Enders Series( Speaker, Xenocide, Children)

I will believe it when I see it, there have been attempts to make
Enders Game into a movie for decades. I just don’t see how they can
correctly cast the lm and expect to nd young actors who can
show the range of emotions needed to tell the story properly,
however I will keep my ngers crossed that they do make the lm
and that it does not disappoint.

I’d disagree on the reading order. The core Ender books — that is, the
books actually about Ender — are Ender’s Game and the Speaker series
(Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind) and are the
ones I’d say should be read rst. Not coincidentally those are also the rst
published.
While I enjoy Ender’s Shadow, the rest of the “Shadow” series (at least
the ones I read) had a completely different tone than the Ender series. I
haven’t read any of the last three on the list, unless “A War of Gifts” is the
little “Christmas” Ender book that came out a few years ago.
Personally, I didn’t enjoy the Shadow series and did enjoy the Ender
series. The Shadow series was too much about politics for me, and I didn’t
nish it.
REPLY
Sean
SEPTEMBER 2, 2012
Pshaw, sir. Pshaw. Speaker for the Dead is one of my all time favorite
books. I do understand where you are coming from, as Speaker, Xenocide,
and Children are all a drastic departure from the narrative style of
Ender’s Game and the Ender’s Shadow line, but few books out there are
as good at making you think.

ALso a great series the Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs, there are well
over 12 books in the entire series but the rst 3 are fantastic( though the movie
John Carter didn’t follow the stories and was in fact terrible, the books are
great fun)
A Princess of Mars
The Gods of Mars
The Warlord of Mars

REPLY
Jason
JULY 2, 2012
They basically made up the entire story, only using Mars as the
setting and some of the characters names, I accept that the book is
usually always better than the movie, but in this case they ruined
such a great story. If you do ever read the books you will
understand. I would suggest blocking out the movie if you do read
the series, as it is so far from the story it will probably annoy the
heck out of you.

*Just another note about The Remnants, a better synopsis is that after it is
known that a meteor is headed towards the moon setting it on a crash course
with Earth, a very small, randomly chosen few of Earth’s population is chosen to
be sent on ‘The May ower’- the government’s experimental attempt at a cryo-
stasis-noah’s-ark-type spaceship. Jobs learns that his family is among the
chosen. They know not where the ship is meant to take them, only that is
suppose to freeze them until the ship nds a suitable planet on which to land…
But how long will that take?… And what will await the survivors at their
destination?

Some of the best books I’d read that dealt with a Dystopian world were the
“Shadow Children” series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. To aid in the ght
against famine due to overpopulation, families are allowed only two children;
any subsequent children are imprisoned or killed. The series follows Luke
Garner as he nds out about other shadow children, and many of the themes
involve hypocriticism, very likely future problems, coming to terms with who
you are, and nding your place in society. There’s seven books, and the reading

I love anhything by Tamora Peirce. They are almost all quartets, so the smaller
teen ction size isn’t too bad, and they are almost all strong female leads. The
stories are always captivating, and there’s lots of fantasy in them…. they may
not deal with stand out concepts and themes to get your mind ticking, but I like
books like others like movies, for the entertainment it brings me.

That’s arguable. I can’t claim to have read every single one of the series or
books mentioned above, but I’ve read many of the series, and I’ve read
many more rst books of other series. For me, very, very few of them
have the narrative power of The Hunger Games.
I’ve read the Golden Compass series. Once. Never been able to get
through it a second time. I’ve read the Ender series ( rst three books)
multiple times, but I can’t say I think it’s better. The Uglies series is very
good, but I don’t think it tells quite as powerful a story. Shadow Children
is very good, but not as complex — okay, because it’s meant for a younger
audience. Same for The Giver series. The “Tomorrow When the War
Began” series is good, again, not as good, I don’t believe, but good.
(Though I don’t care or the ones that take place after the war ends.)
Ember series, good, but not as complex. City of Bones — got through the
rst three (four?) books. At best, okay. The Host? Just okay. The Maze
Runner — okay books, but the end of the series is extremely weak.
I could go on, but you get the idea. I won’t disagree about your particular
feeling about the series, but it’s hard to argue with its success. Maybe it’ll
be like “The World According to Garp” and be loved for a few years then
forgotten, but I kinda doubt it.

I also loved (what is so far) a trilogy by kristin Cashore. I’m not sure what they
are called but the three books are Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue. They don’t
really follow the same story but have many “links” between them. I suggest
reading them in that order I Loved them!!! and by the way Bitterblue ended
I’m guessing there will be more books to come… yay!!

A bit younger than the hunger games probably, but still good, is the Wind Singer
trilogy by William Nicholson. Set in an alternate world, follows an unorthodox
family who live in a strictly enforced meritocracy.

I would also recommend “The Worthing Saga” by Orson Scott Card. It’s a
collection of short stories that follow a similar dystopian vein. The Ender series,
both the originals and Shadow collection, are absolutely worthwhile. My
current favorite read is the Dark Tower series from Stephen King. I can’t stop
re-reading it.

Also, Terry Brooks’ “Word and Void” trilogy is an excellent introduction to his
Shannara series, more post-apocalyptic and pre-fantasy.

Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld is an amazing series. It’s set in a future where
children are called “uglies” until their 16th birthday, when they get a surgical
procedure to make them “pretties”. Tally, a rule breaking teen befriends a girl
named Shay. Shay is unsure about the surgery and runs away. When Tally’s 16th
birthday comes Tally must decide whether she wishes to either betray Shay or
never turn pretty and be “ugly” forever.
