My first piece of translated literature. Interesting to see the way that the Chinese cultural ways of thinking and phrasing were communicated across to English. Really interesting, I will likely take a break between this and the next book in the series to consider. Really good SciFi that includes some pretty wild concepts.

Going into the book I was afraid it would be dry since hard sci-fi isn't my normal genre, so I decided to go with the audiobook. This easily took it from a 3 star experience to a 4 star experience. The reader was engaging and I very much enjoyed him, and the book itself wasn't as dry as I was expecting.
