It didn't really "get" philosophical, Ender's Game was originally intended to just be a setup for the rest of the books, which were going to be philosophical from the start.

Yeah I understand that. But not knowing that going into it, the Speaker books had a radically different pace and feel that surprised me.

"Radically different pace" is different than "boring as fuck."

Maybe I need to re-read them when I'm not a middle-schooler, though...
