My opinion:
- Interesting concept of a Dark Forest & cosmic sociology axioms.
- Unpleasant characters: Ye Wenjie (narcissistic and psychopathic), Cheng Xin (a kind billionaire lol).
- Disappointing ending—the last few chapters feel weak.
Bonus: Absolutely fascinating interpretation of the first book by @yogthos@lemmy.ml.
Spoiler
I think the concepts the books present are key amazing, as an avid sci-fi reader. I went into the series expecting some rigid characters and a lot of if/then human logic given the source and the fact that it had to be translated into English.
