Omg, really? It’s been couple of years since I read it, I don’t remember that.

I mean later on I did some reading about the author himself. He shifted more and more into religion as he got older so that kind of thinking would probably made sense. For him.

Yea that’s definitely part of it. Like I get it, it’s hard to write smart characters because you actually have to have them do smart things as opposed to just saying they are smart, but then why say everyone is smart? Even Ender’s bully brother turned out to be supposedly super smart, Beam turned out super duper extra smart, taught himself to read as a child without ever reading anything before…

I liked the world, it was interesting, but common, have some diverse characters.

Ender’s game and it’s sequels: every character is supposed to be a genius and the next character is even bigger genius. Gets nonsensical really fast.
