This time, Seth is joined by Mandy Self, the other half of Trivially Crucial, to discuss Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card, winner of the 1987 Hugo Award. It’s Mandy’s second-favorite book and Seth’s favorite. So don’t expect much objectivity here.
Warning: Even the spoiler-lite section of this podcast will spoil the end of Ender’s Game. Don’t let that happen to you. It’s also just not quite as spoiler-lite as usual even on Speaker. So really, you’ll want to have read the book first.
