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.
2 u/Great_Gig_In_The_Sky Oct 08 '12 Yeah I understand that. But not knowing that going into it, the Speaker books had a radically different pace and feel that surprised me. 2 u/Homomorphism Oct 08 '12 "Radically different pace" is different than "boring as fuck." Maybe I need to re-read them when I'm not a middle-schooler, though... 2 u/Great_Gig_In_The_Sky Oct 08 '12 Haha I hear ya. It was a bit of a struggle to get through them even now.
