Mind-Blowing
5By Andy AKA Lil' DiceyThe most thought provoking sci-fi series I have read. The superb descriptions of theoretical physics applied to the storytellers universe are beautiful, mesmerizing, and terrifying. Couldn’t stop reading!Well written but
3By Tcf3dHumorless.Simply Stunning ✨
5By quinnedeloresSimply stunning ✨ Very complex and heavy on the theoretical physics and astronomy jargon but such a good read and so very worth your timeAs a physics major
5By Nick MazeThis series was something I could not stop reading. It constantly blew my mind with it high concepts of physics while taking liberties into hypotheticals. I highly recommend this series to anyone wanting to be taken on a journey through what it means to exist in our universe!Truly significant
5By Qaztar44Perhaps the only significant book I’ve ever read. Any review that paints this series to be an insight into Chinese culture is grossly understating these books. This is a story of humanity that transcends all others.Had its moments
4By BR 1909I almost didn’t finish the trilogy, having lost interest halfway thru the first book due to the side characters and their extensive conversations. Turns out I put it down just before the story really picked up. I couldn’t put it down after that and that hasn’t happened to me in decades. Is the trilogy worth reading? Absolutely. Will I read it a second time? Probably not.Brilliant concepts, terrible sexist conclusion
3By JmgyellowI adored the first two books in the series. I can’t overstate my praise for them. However, the final book was unbearable. The story was *literally* just: woman in charge causes all bad things to happen because she is a woman (weak-willed and feminine). I’m not exaggerating, that’s it. The first two books may have contained sexist characters, but the third book was sexist itself. Not to mention that the ending of the third book is so awful in terms of character consistency, set up and payoff, etc, that it was hard to stomach. The concepts of the ending: brilliant. The character conclusions of the ending: abysmally bad.The single best sci-fi literary work there is
5By DrumGod69Fantasy is cool - theoretical physics is cooler. Never has a book series made me think more about the very nature of the universe we live in. If you are existentially minded, these books will open you up to a way of thinking that you never thought possible. At times it feels like you are being given a glimpse at what the future of humanity could truly look like. The way that Cixin Liu is able to combine theoretical physics with masterful world building and Earth shattering thought experiments. The way he captures the essence of the human spirit - the good, the bad, and the evil. The way he is able to build suspense, wonder, and attachment in the reader. This book series is a work of art and I truly don’t know if I’ll ever read a work of fiction that will impact me in the way that this one has. Cixin Liu, thank you for this masterclass in storytelling and world building. The way it slowly and thoroughly builds and expands in ways you will never see coming is pure magic. I don’t usually read books twice - I will be periodically rereading this series for the rest of my life. Amazing!!!‘“Epic” seems trite when describing this series.
4By Snap a’sahnCompelling and visceral… You will not be able to predict its scope and major plot twists. The characters and their intertwined pathways are so beautifully rendered that this series of books is hard to put down.Fate of Humanity and Galactic Civilization
5By capation boltThe scale of the author's world-building is limitless. He's in the company of Arthur C. Clarke's most imaginative works about deep time, but goes beyond even the reach of the Rendezvous with Rama series. The story's ambition is cosmic in scope, starting with humanity's first contact with a bizarre extraterrestrial civilization on a planet in the Alpha Centauri system, ensuing centuries of intersteller war, and Earth and other intelligences at the end of time struggling to survive beyond the final heat death of the universe. A masterpiece!
