Shadows Trilogy

Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant by Orson Scott Card, 451, 348 and 371 pages, (1170 pages)

Cover image for This Shadows trilogy should is likely actually a quartet that includes Ender's Shadow, but since Ender's Shadow and this trilogy have nothing in common except the main character, I am posting this separately.

Like Ender's Shadow this set follows the life of Bean. That same orphan kid we saw growing up is now a battle school grad and back on earth. But like everyone else that was part of Enders group he is destined never to have an ordinary life.

This trilogy follows Bean though the struggles he faces in fitting in back on Earth, the return of an old nemesis, and trying to stop the world from destroying itself.

I found this series to be very well written, to some extent even more so than Enders Game. But where Enders Game leaves you reeling with a shock, this series is very depressing.
