Follow the leads of Earth Unaware (and meet some new friends) as the Formics begin to invade Earth. See how they struggle to survive and attempt to save the world. I think my favorite part is seeing the small parts of this story that set the scene for children in war, how they are trained, and the beginnings of what ultimately makes Ender Wiggin the success he is.

Here is how it all began! Told from 3 different perspectives we learn how the human race became aware of the Formics and what those who first discovered they were coming to earth did to try to stop them. From the get go it was gripping and heartbreaking. I cannot wait to follow these characters more in book 2 of the first Formic war trilogy.
I‘ve read all of the Ender series and all of the Shadow series. Time to know what happened in the first Formic war that sent it all in motion!
Pictured for cuteness (and sass) my Ender. 💚
