Science fiction at its best. Very science-heavy (which is always a plus in my opinion!) and a lot of mind-bending and controversial concepts. Can’t wait to finish the remaining books in this trilogy!

DID NOT FINISH

About as boring as a first contact alien invasion story could be… surprisingly, I thought the mediocre Netflix series was better. That at least I finished.
