I mean if you’ve read the first book you should know a bit about how this one is going to be. It’s a very military based book and it’s a bit slow at times but still enjoyable.

I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long time. The first book felt oddly removed emotionally, like all the emotions were heard through a wall, but this book didn't have any of that, and I don't really know why they are different in that respect. Usually, overly technical science descriptions are a turnoff for me, but this again didn't have that problem, I actually feel like i learned a lot about our solar system.
This book scratches the itch that older sci-fi books have, of a mythic scale and dramatic, eerie scenes that speak on the human condition. Any sci-fi fans should give this series a read, you won't regret it.

This book was a wonderful and quite frankly (in the end) hopeful sequal to to the three body problem. The main characters are filled will flaws and are put through hardship. From

the wallfacer project to the near-suicide of wallfacer Luo Ji

it was very developed and detailed. Also where the problem comes in. Way too damn long. So much beautiful detail, and yet I have to glaze over some of it to keep me from boredom. Overall great.
