I'm about halfway through Death's End in the Three Body Problem trilogy. The whole series has been fantastic so far. I'm a slow reader and the first book took me only a couple days to get through. The second book fantastic as well. The third book is kind of falling off a cliff for me.

The first two books have excellent main characters that we follow along as the story progresses. The 3rd book's mc is the weakest of the 3. Where the first two had these grand contributions to society and how to handle the aliens, Cheng is more on the lines of being a puppet. She contributed to society but in this book there are bigger, more important characters that would have been more intersting to follow.

It's a good book. I am enjoying it. But I'm 300 pages in and still waiting for that moment to take me back up the cliff. The nice thing is I think I stopped at a point where that's about to happen. So I hope it turns around and elevates itself in the next few readings.
