For the entry of my choice, I was want to talk about some thoughts I had in mind as I was reading the book.
When Ender was in a room after the major battle, that destroyed the buggers completely, he slept and rested. Later, his close friends Alai, Bean, Petra, and Dink all came in to see him but when Petra and Dink entered, it was written that they were holding hands. Did they have a relationship? If they were, I think it would have been really cute because their "kind of" different personalities would have made a cute match. I think this book could have been better if there was a bit of a love plot because all the scientific battles and boring plots were truly never-ending and just time consuming. The book was a bit too long; overall, I did not like this novel at all. The story seemed so fake and "staged" with Ender being a genius who could do EVERYTHING. He was too smart and too mature; there were no cute childish scenes. I also found the book somewhat repetitive. Ender had the same battles (obviously winning all the time) and played that fairy game over and over again. I don't think I felt any ups and tensions until the climax.
About love plots, I thought there was a love story between Ender and Valentine. They definitely did not seem like siblings and they way they shared a conversation was so truthful, deep, mature, and full of intense love that I truly thought that there would be some drama between them. Whenever they were together, it felt like they were seriously a young couple.

i agree with you that there was something between V and Ender. There is no way that their sisterhool can be that close, and there was this passage too where V says that she loves Ender no matter what decsions he make. it kept reminding me that they want to have forbidden love or somthing
But i like this book a lot, and it was actually very enjoyableㅇㅇㅇ
Hi Jane this is Inhyuk.
I can see your thirst for love .
I agree with you most parts.
I also thought there was love too lovish to be between siblings.
Whenever they were together it seemed wrong and sweet.
Although this book lacks romance, but I think there was tons of love in it. Just not the romantic love :)
I agree that books that have repetitive story lines are definitly boring. It is interesting that you disagree with the preference of the book. I think I would like to try reading this book someday just for fun. It sounds interesting. I wonder how dystopia is portrayed in this book. I think I would relate better with this book I guess. Well this book has a bit of romance, unlike other dystopian novels!
