A review by wintersavenger
Death's End by Cixin Liu
3.0
We finally have a main character that's female in the Three Body Trilogy. It's just a shame that she's extraordinarily frustrating, can't seem to win at anything and spends the majority of her 18 billion year long life asleep.
The universe of Death's End is exciting, filled with alien threats both known and unknown. It is interesting to explore humanity along with the characters, to see Liu's vision of the future brought about by the Trisolaran crisis unfold and expand. Like the other two books, Death's End is heavy on the hard science and big questions, but is enjoyable nonetheless. I can't help but think that it's an unsatisfactory end to such a grand series, but that might be down to a dislike for the constantly hibernating, alien-enabling, solar system destroying Cheng Xin.
