My biggest frustration with this series is that dimensional warping wasn't further explored despite its heavy exploitation by the enemies of earth in the FIRST BOOK and hints about it were teased in the second book , and it was ultimately the end of earth in the third book ... the in-universe explanation is probably that humans weren't given enough time to master the technology and it could be that exploring it further could have written the author into a corner, but as far as "what ifs" go, if humans were able to master dimensional warping it would have totally given them an out from the end assigned unto them. As soon as it was mentioned in the first book I was waiting for it to be a force the author gave to humans and not seeing them being able to realize it left me a bit underwhelmed at the end. |

Recently finished Liu Cixin's "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy ( 3 body problem / dark forest / death's end) at a reading pace of 1 book per day. (~500 pages per book) Read it blind! Good mysteries and world building! Hard science fiction so not a lot of fantasy. Characters are a bit shallow and it could have been cut a few hundred pages shorter at no great loss. But it's a fun and easy read, if depressing. 8.6 |
