For those that don't know, Ender's Game started out as a prologue to Speaker for the Dead, but Card got pretty carried away writing and realized it was enough material for it's own book.

Spoiler!

When they got into Philotes the books completely left the realm of sci-fi and wandered into fantasy, at least IMO. The Ender series really got sappy towards the end too with all the love stuff (Miro may be my least favorite book character ever). I was hoping Card would delve deeper into the alien race that created the descolada but that never happened
