I mentioned this in my review for Three Body Problem, each successive book in this trilogy just keeps getting better and better.

When The Dark Forest was first released for western readers, many science fiction afficionados referred to it as one of the scariest sci-fi novels they had ever read... This is only because they had yet to read the third and final book in the trilogy, Death's End.

This reviewer deliberately chooses not to discuss plot.
