Yes. This.

One of the primary appeals (for me) of Ender's Game was the strategic warfare; the flashsuits and the zero-gee maneuvering and so forth. Speaker for the Dead never really appealed in the same way.

It's the story of Ender's adult life and so it deals with more adult problems. Fair enough, but I've gotta say I missed the zero-gee combat.
