I kind of agree with you on some things. I'm in love with the shadow series, and they are my favorite part of the enderverse. I didn't like the speaker series as much (though I still loved them!), but I think to really get the full effect out of any of the books, you need to read them all. There are...

what a creep.



...even if you were joking...

this is what i think petra looks like. It's a person from a vidio game that really reminds me of her. http://namine4ever.deviantart.com/art/rikku-35195837 That's kinda how i see Petra. I actually always thought of her with red hair though; but I've played that game, and i really do like the idea. I...

oh. I'm really really sorry if I offended you! Seriously!
I just never thought it was possible anyone could think like that after having the opportunity to see Bean's character! Sorry!

this is what i picture the characters as being: Ender- dark hair, gray eyes, lean, pale-ish Peter-Very attractive, dark eyes, tall. (tall, dark, and hansome) Valentine- clear skin, pinkish tinted cheeks, long light brown hair Bean- tan, black hair, exotic eyes, short/tall Petra- perfect figure, spun...

he wouldn't do a very good job. It's not that he couldn't, he just wouldn't want to. Bean doesn't have a lust for power. Hegemon's just not his thing.

Shadows End.

kind of cool how it has end in it, like Ender. Simple things like that make me happy....

Dont want to make anyone angry, but can they really be compared to Bean and Ender, or Petra, Valentine, and Peter? I don't think they should have their own series; I think it's better with them playing secondary roles.

Nope. Children of the Mind and the entire Shadow series did though.

What was sad about EG?

(Not sure if those are the right words, I don't own Shadow Puppets.)

Touched my heart

sorry if I'm making anyone angry, but the Shadow series failed miserably, imho. Still fun reads and all because it's so easy to like Bean, but... For many of the reasons that EG and SftD were amazing novels (it almost seemed like they actually could happen), the Shadow Series just didn't cut it. 1....

He had charisma and the ability to make people trust him on a level not even Bean could compete on.

You must not have read the shadow series.
