Children of the Mind finishes off the story started in Xenocide. The three ramen species on Lusitania are still trying to save Jane, their planet, and the rest of the human planets from myriad threats, while Ender is incapacitated by love for his wife and siblings, but lives on in the conjured bodies of Peter who is not himself, and the perfectly good Young Val. Very much with the philosophy, but also a great pulling-together-of-threads to reveal a coherent whole at the end.I enjoyed this book very much. Although I may not like how some characters were treated, it was a realistic portrayal of their personalities as I imagine them, and I'm happy enough to accept that. I liked the instantaneous travel, and I thought that the emotions between some of the characters were pretty spot on.
