I think it's more to do with the book not giving any real answer to the central theme of the guilt or innocence of Ender Wiggin (Until Xenocide). The book lets the kids deal with their problems like adults (Until Xenocide) and that characterization always finds a welcome ear to someone who is growing up and trying to navigate the fuzzy divide between adulthood and childhood.

@Elizafox @chr @snarkout Other than that, pretty standard military hard sci-fi :D (Until Xenocide)

@Irick @Elizafox @chr I mean, yeah, but only because standard military hard sci-fi has the same undercurrent of whining, reactionary entitlement. I find the book really problematic these days. (Loved it in jr. high, which is part of why I see it as so toxic.)
