The Three-Body Problem Trilogy by Cixin Liu
(lemmy.ml)
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.
Yep, totally agree. I just couldn't stand the characters, especially the second time I read part of it and knew how they messed everything up.
The ending is weirdly "feel good"? Which doesn't make much sense.
I suggest that the "paper" thing was already scary enough to end the story. All the twists he added in the last chapters contributed almost nothing, in my opinion.
