Virtually Sub-Series

The novels of the Enderverse can broadly be catagorized into sub-series that focus on the same characters, events, or themes. While Orson Scott Card and Tor Books have established a variety of sub-series for the Enderverse over the years, these "official" designations are frequently changed and are oft inconsistent. For case, allow's look at some of the most recent Enderverse material: The Last Shadow and the revised publishings of the Ender Quintet, both of which were released in 2021:

On the first folio of The Last Shadow and the 2d Revised Mass Market place Editions of the Ender Quintet, where the sub-series of the Enderverse and Card'due south other works are shown, the series are carve up into the "Ender Saga" (which contains the Ender Quintet as well as TLS, despite TLS' title resembling the Shadow Saga's naming conventions), the "Ender'due south Shadow Series", Children of the Fleet which is left on its own with no series designation, the Beginning and Second Formic War Trilogies, and then "Ender Novellas" which contains A State of war of Gifts: An Ender Story and Commencement Meetings in Ender's Universe (though both book names are shortened).[1]

On the other manus, on the 3rd Trade Paperback Edition of the Ender Quintet, also released in 2021, the series are split into "Ender" (which is just the Ender Quintet), "Ender'south Shadow", the First and 2d Formic War Trilogies, Children of the Fleet is put under "Stand-Lonely Novels", and A State of war of Gifts and Outset Meetings are again nether "Ender Novellas". [two]

Thus, with such an inconsistent direction from official sources that lend to the defoliation of how to read the Enderverse, the wiki has decided to slightly modify the official sub-series designations to be more understandable by a general audience.
