Children of the Spirit is the fourth and final book of the cycle Ender, or rather the third volume of a trilogy started by the Voice of the Dead since the first volume was actually quite disconnected from the following. The Stellar Congress offline ansibles allowing the planets to communicate and Jane to exist. He is about to destroy Lusitania simply to remove the descolada, the transforming virus species and ensuring the survival of Pequeninos. Ender and his band will defy the impossible to prevent this second Xenocide occur.
Some interesting thoughts on the clash of cultures and civilizations, sprinkled in a literary disaster. I deliberately enlarged the trait, but Card has really stuck in this story that ultimately drag on. A strong focus on the humanistic message it seeks to convey the romantic qualities of the cycle end up getting rare and one comes to wish he was content to write an essay. However, reading is better than the previous volume, the author obviously carrying more attention to his characters.
