There are a lot of good suggestions here. I started the 3 body problem right after the expanse. I used to read a lot. It has been 2 years, I'm about half way and I dread picking it up to try to continue. It has killed my lust for reading completely.
Just give up on it and read something else.
I hate quiting a book, but finally admitted defeat last night, bought the last book in the children of time series snd my lust for good sf is back. Pages flying.
Glad you did! If you aren't enjoying yourself when reading a book then it's fine to put it down.
Is that Children of Memory? I love that series and enjoyed every book. I was a bit confused about what was going on with CoM for about the first half of the book, but then it all started clicking and was great fun. The new species was brilliant as well.
It is indeed Children of Memory. Loving it so far. The incoorpration of the nod creature(s?/entity?) is awesome. Can't wait to learn more about the corvids.
Don't judge SF by 3 Body Problem. I've read good and bad SF for 40 years and even I got tired of the deus ex machina of that book. I managed to finish it but the rest of the series sits there half read now, because it actually managed to get worse.
Not judging sf at all. Have been a heavy sf reader for 20 years and just could not do that. Actually started book 3 in the children of time series last night, and I am back to reading🥳. Pages just flying by.
