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 enjoyed the series alongside my son. Not the best writing and a little heavy on philosophy for my taste but some interesting takes on interstellar coexistence. Book 3 was my favorite and Sophon my favorite character by far, though Luo Ji is a badass.
