Preachy, patronising, even silly at the denouement

I liked the Ender books, especially Speaker for the Dead. Speculative fiction at its finest, dealing with ethical dilemma and complexity with humility and compassion. Fully realised characters I actually gave a damn about. I don't know what happened to Card in Homebody. It was like reading a different author who could only write stereotypical cardboard characters spouting tired platitudes masquerading as morality. Very disappointing.
