The book is awesome!
It was a joy to read!
It was also the perfect book to read after finishing Cixin Liu's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy.
Are the second and third books in the RoEP trilogy better than the first book? I read the first and thought it was meh.
I bought and read the books because I watched season one on Netflix, and simply couldn't tolerate not knowing what that joke meant, and why the Trisolarans wanted to kill the one Wallfacer so badly. I mowed through the books in about a week, and enjoyed all three books.
There are profound events, and the scope of the story becomes absolutely grand over the next two books, with some scenes and events that are now seared into memory.
But I was one hundred percent enthused and sold on the books before they arrived, based on the ideas that captivated me in the Netflix show.
The escalation and stakes go up considerably, but if you weren't feeling the first book, I'm not sure if you'd enjoy the other two.
Ah ok. Some people have said that the second and third books were different and even though they thought the first was meh they liked the others better. That's why I asked.
Next up, the classic continuation with: Bobiverse and Children Of Time
