After seeing the Netflix series, I decided to pick up the book. It matched pretty nicely and felt very similar in plot besides the character differences.
I enjoyed the mysterious, creeping effect I felt when I knew that Trisolaris would be at earth in 4 centuries.
I wished there would have been more interaction or plot with the aliens. Yet, at the same time the author did a good job leaving some things unfinished in order to encourage readers to continue in the series. I will not be continuing the series, but I enjoyed the read.
