As you can see by my rating, I think this was the perfect end to the trilogy.

In this last part, Liu Cixin writes the story of what happens after a truce has been established with an alien race set on invading earth. Let's just say they didn't live happily ever after. Or maybe they did. In some strange way. It's up to you to decide.

One thing I loved about the series is that each of the books is really a completely different book. The story is somehow completely different, yet it is a perfect continuation of the previous one (if you want to read the books, you should definitely read them in order)

If there would be one thing to annoy me, it is the men/women stereotype that is used throughout the book. Men are the strong fighters while women are the caring mothers. I usually don't notice …

Ugh...so much about this book. It was like Liu was afraid he would not get another book deal, so he stuff it so full of stuff that it hardly holds a coherent thread. The story is epic, covering a ton of time. Expansive, yes...but it was like reading a heart beat monitor. It would pull you up on a topic, reaching for higher and higher potential...then just out of nowhere the bottom would drop out. And that topic would never be addressed again (if maybe only glancing later on). It is so frustrating that the series ends on this, I loved Three-Body, and Dark Forest grew on me despite it's flaws...but this was just a plodding mess of a gathering of words.
