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.

The series most interesting as an allegory of the competition between the US and China.

Exactly! Without this angle I would never start the 2nd book. Thank you again
