A review by yetanotherryan
The Supernova Era by Joel Martinsen, Cixin Liu

3.0

An extended metaphor on humanity with YA flourishes. Picture a more extreme version of The 100, where the planet is left exclusively to younger children. This story is filled with interesting plot points but the way we get there is probably the most hand wave-y thing I've come across in sci-fi. As far as metaphors go, I'm not entirely sure that it works for me, even if it scares the pants off me.
Read this if you're a Liu Cixin fan, but if you're just starting, I recommend Three Body Problem instead.
