Jim's Review
🐛
Jim was hooked from the first zero-gravity battle. Card wrote a story about a kid genius fighting aliens, but it's really about leadership, empathy, and the weight of impossible choices. The Battle Room scenes alone are worth the price of admission. Just when you think you've got it figured out, the ending hits you like a bookworm falling off a shelf. Four worms — this one sticks with you.
