I preferred the Speaker for the Dead/Xenocide/Children of the Mind trilogy that was written after Ender's Game; it covers more of Ender's life specifically.
If you don't want to know what happens with the other children after the Formic War is over, don't read more of the Shadow series or Ender in Exile which fills in gaps about what happened with Ender after the War and has spoilers about happenings in the Shadow series. They all grow up eventually.
Personally I kept going with the Shadow series out of curiosity and to see how some of the other characters and circumstances developed. I think you would enjoy getting to know one of the main supporting characters in the second book. I haven't read the final book in the series yet. I would be happy to loan you Shadow of the Hegemon if you decide that you want to read it.
