Stunning! Full review here: http://fantasybuchreviews.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/orson-scott-card-enders-game-2/
Definitely not as good as the first, but it was still very enjoyable. The dozen or so characters were difficult to follow, but the plot was interesting throughout the whole novel.
Another excellent book. This one was conceived even before the first one, and its nearly as good as. Like the first, it's very easy to read and understand.
Starts off interesting but doesn't hold up.
The Piggy plotline feels poorly thought out and characters actions don't seem logical under scrutiny.
Ender is more obnoxious than the first book, bordering on insufferable as he Mary Sue's his way through every situation with every other character fawning over him.
The main focus ends up becoming all the relationships between the characters, which is unfortunate considering Orson doesn't seem to be very good at writing believable characters or dialogue.
If you really enjoyed the first book I'd say it's worth a try.
