What Order Should I read the Ender's Game Series in, Chronologically or in order of Publication?

Question

I just read Ender's Game for the first time and thought it was amazing and now I want to read the rest, I want to see if I can finish them in the two weeks before summer is over.

Answer 1

The Ender's Game series and the Ender's Shadow series are two completely different things, so I like to read each in its own set. Start with the story of Ender in this order:

Ender's Game

Speaker for the Dead

Xenocide

Children of the Mind

Then read Bean's Story:

Ender's Shadow

Shadow of the Hegemon

Shadow Puppets

Shadow of the Giant

Also, "Ender in Exile" is coming out soon, which will take place between Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead.
