The people in loco parentis for Ender have now effectively forced him to kill two boys in self-defense, but haven’t told him they died. I fear what he would do if he knew.

Colonel Graff is the worst. The children are all prodigies— and their reward is being expected to handle the worst of what an adult faces, alone.

I forgot how tormented Ender was.

Rereading to see if I enjoy the next book “Speaker for the Dead” as much as when I first read it.
