I took quite a few breaks while reading this book. At last it’s over. It’s not a bad book at all. Has some good moments. The things is, since it’s fan fiction (even though Cixin Liu “approves” this book) I cannot force myself to take it as canon. It’s like you are listening to someone else’s ideas about a film you both saw. Sure, some things stick, but most don’t quite resonate well with your thoughts.

I also found the writing to be confusing at times. Anyways, not bad, but can’t take it as a real part of the original subject matter. Congrats to the author for his good timing, I guess!
