I read this probably about 4 years ago, and made hilarious shadow puppets on the wall a few days ago much to Mallory's delight. It is the third of the four books about Bean. And, for some reason, I still haven't read the last book.
This one was enjoyable enough, although no where near as good as Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, obviously. I don't recall a whole lot of specifics from the book other than Achilles from battle school plots a whole bunch of different traps in an attempt to kill Bean (and others). He gets his come-uppins. It's a fun enough read for those who like learning about the goings on of the various battle schoolers.
