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'm 58% through the third book and it feels like it should've ended at book two so far for me.

I loved the ending of the second book too! I was really looking forward to seeing more stories about coexistence, and honestly, it felt obvious that this deterrence state couldn’t last forever.
