An interesting story, but mired in its translation. Not poor necessarily, but certainly not effective. I’ll save my time and read the sequels’ synopses.

Primeira vez a ler um livro depois de assistir a adaptação 🤣 And I really loved the Adaptation... but the book was more insightful... I finally understood why TF they were messing around with the scientists 😅

I have mixed feelings... I was comparing the characters, the plots and the details they left out. 
I think my anger towards YE WENJI was restored here... if not magnified...😐🤣 

And... I didn’t connect with Wang... unfortunately...

I was really intrigued by the video game aspect and the aliens but it took so long to get to the aliens! This book wasn’t what I was expecting, it was slower in the beginning but it got interesting once we got to the video game part and the three body problem. I listened to it as an audiobook which may have been why at times I had a hard time keeping track of where we were in time since it jumped around a little. The Trisolarans were interesting and I loved when we finally got to the point of learning more about their civilization and I wish we had gotten more about them but I guess I’ll have to read the next book! This was also a book that really made me consider how small we are compared to the rest of the universe, and the Trisolaran society made me think about how important joy and art are in order to make life meaningful on this little blue dot.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the copy of this audiobook!
