Great story, but the performance was dreadfulĪfter having read "Ender's Game," I was eager to read "Speaker for the Dead." I was definitely not disappointed. First Meetings, however contains short stories that occur both before and in between the list above within the Enderverse. If you were to read the books in the order they were published, you would bounce back and forth in between time and few of the plot twists in future books would be revealed before you wanted them to be known. Meaning that the flow of events in the stories are uninterrupted. The list above is sorted by the Enderverse timeline. If after reading all of these wonderful books you are still itching for an Enderverse fix then read First Meetings. Reading the books in this order will keep you interested and keep the story moving more naturally. Recommended order of reading (in my opinion): Ender?s Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Shadow of the Giant, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind. The characters are easy to identify with, and you will find yourself sucked into this imaginary universe, nicknamed the Enderverse by fans. This is my favorite science fiction series.
