Supernova Era by Cixin Liu

2.0

---

So, a nearby star has died, there’s a supernova event that showers Earth with deadly levels of radiation, and within a year everyone over the age of thirteen dies.

Audacious to be sure.

Promising as well.

But in the end, it was slightly disappointing, and kind of, well, boring.

I thought of giving up at a few points, but as my first time reading a Chinese novel translated into English, I really wanted to see it through to the end.

I’ve heard so many good things about Cixin Liu’s work though, and there was just enough in this book to give me the confidence to try one of his more popular and recent efforts.

This one though…well the physical copy that I purchased, it’s already at the op-shop.
