The Supernova Era by Cixin Liu, Cixin Liu

yearofthesnk's review against another edition

Completely flat, unbelievable characters in absurd situations that are not explored with any emotional depth. Very difficult to stay engaged. It largely lacks the hard Sci Fi that redeems Liu's Remembrance of Earth's Past series, and instead magnifies its flaws.

Pretty good, but felt more juvenile than 3 body problem. Characters not the easiest to connect with

Качество текста на двоечку, но идея была размашистая, заставляет самого поразмышлять, поэтому оценка такая высокая.

Но вообще не могу рекомендовать к прочтению.
Все картонно, наивно.

В задаче тех тел, надо признать, не сильно лучше, но там размах завораживает, да и качество текста повыше, хотя и не намного.

Dragged in places but a really interesting premise and unique book.
