A review by mrqueasy
The Wandering Earth by Cixin Liu
4.0
I read this short story after hearing David Brin reccomend Liu as a "emerging voice in world scifi". To be quick about this review, I agree with Brin. The only thing I felt was lacking about this story was that the translation seemed a little rough in places.
Cixin Liu's skill shines through on every page. This story moves quicky, as a short story spanning 40y or so must, but nothing feels rushed. The stakes escalate quickly both on a personal and on a universe level, and there are no cheap payoffs. Every emotional note feels earned.
