L'ombre de l'Hégémon

The way characters navigate alliances and betrayals is intense and believable. Did the author draw from real-world politics or history?

I loved seeing how Ender struggles with the burden of command and morality. I'm curious if this was always part of the plan or developed during writing.

Ender's decisions often felt morally gray, making me wonder how much the story challenges the idea of right and wrong in leadership.
