My brain struggles so much with chapter-less books

Conceptually so crazy and intensely imaginative, covers such an incredible scope across time and space; however the characters are shallow and the writing is dense to the point of being nearly impenetrable at times. This one is translated way better than the first one. Nothing happy or joyful ever happens for long! I would not want to live in this future.

I really enjoyed the writing style and balance of sci-fi and politics. Cixin Liu has painted a convincing picture of humanty's response to the three body problem and trisolaris. The prose was great- this book had some of my favourite lines I've read in sci-fi and I'm looking forward to reading the final book in the trilogy.
