My opinion:

  • Interesting concept of a Dark Forest & cosmic sociology axioms.
  • Unpleasant characters: Ye Wenjie (narcissistic and psychopathic), Cheng Xin (a kind billionaire lol).
  • Disappointing ending—the last few chapters feel weak.

Bonus: Absolutely fascinating interpretation of the first book by @[email protected].

      Whoops, I just double checked and I was mistaken. Ken Liu was the person whose story pantheon was based on (though it does look like he helped translate some of Cixin Liu’s works just based on the thumbnail of the post alone)
