dylg 's review for:

Supernova Era by Cixin Liu

3.0

---

I walked away a little disappointed with the depth of this book compared to the fascinating premise. There just wasn’t much there, and every detail there was just focused on war outside the awesome virtual world bit. It was great disconnected ideas that didn’t mesh up into a satisfying ending. There’s also a clear bias towards China, Europe/US is painted in an overly negative light (but honestly might be accurate in the situation) and nary a mention of Africa. There's also only two female characters and one of them is described as Shirley-Temple-like. Stick to the Three Body Problem instead.
