Really enjoyed the way the story builds up, revealing human ego(?) resulting in humans imposing their way of thinking or doing things to understand the world around them erroneously. The common thread is Ender coming in with his empathy and unveiling the true nature of the aliens.
The village story reveals all the petty vices of human nature, bullying, ostracizing, selfishness, generally very dark. Tension between mayor, bishop and the other religious faction. Tension between Novi and the normal villagers. The self created torture by Novi I cannot relate to, nor can I relate to the love Ender had for her. She's not an attractive heroine.
