Pretty good read. Has some intriguing ideas. It taught me a lot about Chinese history and culture (something I need to research and learn more about).
There were quite a few surprises in this book that I really did not expect at all! The concepts in the last 30% of the book are so interesting but crazy that I want to go and research into them right now. I really don't know how Liu Cixin came up with the ideas... maybe I need to read more into his influences.
I liked the science aspects of this book. My only complaint is the writing seems a little off at times, but I think it is due to it being a translated work. It doesn't detract from the story.
I will continue this series for sure as Liu Cixin poses some thoughtful questions and I would like to see how things progress.

Took me awhile to get into it, but once I was in, I couldn't stop. It had multiple moments that made me gasp - loved the building tension and conspiracy. There were certain jumps in plot or action sequences that seemed wildly unrealistic or resolved too easily, but it's a book that requires suspension of disbelief anyway, so overall I didn't mind too much. Made me want to finish the series for sure!
