I really can't wait until the next army fight, and I hope it's described rather than just alluded to. Be interesting to see whether the intuition of the others is correct that his mental upgrade will make him even better at mock battle, or whether his new focus will simply make him not care.

I kinda hope we're done with them. They were ok at first but now they seem to detract from the actual storyline, and there's not much more charecter-building you can do with them.

I never liked the battle scenes. If EY wants to write Ender's Game Theory, then more power to him, but I came to read Harry Potter fanfic!

Maybe I missed it, but I thought the battles were done with the award ceremony and the associated wishes.
