Really great follow up to The Three Body Problem. I think I preferred the translator of the first book to this one, but it wasn’t enough to dissuade me from really enjoying it. Takes all sorts of turns I couldn’t see coming and ends on a much more hopeful note than I was expecting. Excited to finish the trilogy!
