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 @yogthos@lemmy.ml.

~~I’ve been interested in this author after I found out the show Pantheon, which I really liked, was based on his other works~~. (Wrong author) I haven’t had a chance to check out the three body problem, but I intend to soon.

Pantheon was incredible. Didn’t realize it was the same author

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)
