Wow What a Trilogy! Reading these books was like going on a pilgrimage! Holy experience and journey for me! I would have missed a lot if I had never read the trilogy

Really not sure what to think about this. I somehow missed a real plot in here, or maybe I just didn't get it. Things keep on happening (many, many years go by) and I keep on asking myself where all of this is going... 🤔 Also, is it just me or does Cixin Liu have a weird relationship to women? I just couldn't get this out of my mind.

Yes, I'm happy that I finished the trilogy. And yes, I'm still thinking of getting the fourth novel as well 😅

This is the final book in what is probably the best science fiction trilogy I‘ve ever read. The books get better and better and they are all really good. IMO, this final one is the best.

I can‘t say that many books have changed me. Death‘s End rocked me to my core and changed me. This book is filled with wonderful and brave characters. While some of the technical paragraphs were extremely challenging to read the narrative arc is out of this world. Please do yourself a favour and read these books. You will cry you, you will be challenged, you will be entertained, you will love and you will become a better human ❤️

Unbelievably creative and engrossing sci-fi. Liu often gets bogged down in the technical details of some of his futuristic concepts, which might turn some off, but I actually really appreciated his obvious depth of physics and astronomical knowledge and found even those parts interesting. Also packed with keen sociological insight.

LiteraryinLawrence My first thought was wow, that looks so much like Emmie! 😋 Congrats on finishing this gigantic trilogy, sweetie! (edited) 4y

DEATH‘S END slides between seriously cool and deathly tedious, largely due to Liu‘s tell-not-show style. The ideas are good, but the characterization falls flat with everyone except the lead—and even she‘s debatable. I think some of that is cultural divide, but some of it‘s just that Liu and I like different takes on SF. I‘m always gonna chose character-centric over idea-centric

Still, this is worth reading if you‘ve invested time in the trilogy.

Finally on the last book of the trilogy. This story is excellent, but I feel like each book stoutly plods along until it picks up the pace near the end. Not a bad thing, mind you, but good to know so you know if it suits your current reading mood.

This one explodes the scope of the first two to create an epic, but ultimately unsatisfying, conclusion of the trilogy. There were some terrific sequences and I like the headiness, yet i could have foregone the "Gone with the Wind" reference providing a lynch-pin aphorism for humanity and the 2001 a Space Odessey never ending ending. This only gets a so-so and a slap on the hand of the editor- this should have been streamlined!

The male chauvinism bothered me more than in the first two in the trilogy, but it‘s still a pick. Occasionally the writing dragged me down—“For all low-entropy entities, terror guaranteed existence”—&—“They locked gazes and their souls embraced.” Female aerospace engineer Cheng Xin is a great MC (in a large cast) & the scope is breathtaking: this volume starts in 15th century Turkey and ends millions of years later. #translation #audiobook

This took me entirely too long to finish (5 months 😱), but it‘s 29 hours of highly cerebral science fiction and I kept having to return it to the library, then wait for the loan to renew. I liked this better than the second book and as much as the first. I can‘t say I understood everything that happened, but I thought the writing was beautiful (many thanks to Ken Liu who is an awesome translator). 3.5/5 stars, rounded up for books #intranslation

Finished. I think the last time I was both frustrated and fascinated at the same time by a story was the end of David Brin‘s uplift series and I cannot explain why without spoilers. So I will simply say this book has a different focus from the first two books in the series, less about the trilsolarans, less about the dark forest, more about bigger questions on the nature of the universe. A pick for the ideas if not the storyline.

vivastory Such a fantastic series. Constantly surprising. 5y

This is my new standard of Sci Fi books. With the utmost respect to all of its predecessors, I proclaim that the bar has been raised and its heading toward DX3906 never to be seen again by Earth. I look forward to rereading the series to pick up the pieces of my blown mind I left behind.

OK, I wound up loving this trilogy. The third is probably my favorite, and once again, by the end of it, my mind had totally melted about the possibilities of space travel, potential other intelligent races that (statistically-speaking) could technically exist in just our solar system, etc etc. Thanks @NotDrWatson for recommending it :).

July so far is a very busy month. Not as much time to read and not as much time to post about it. Sigh.

This is one book I did finish. It's a pick for me, the last in a trilogy all of which I thought was very good. It's a first contact story and it didn't quite end up where I thought it would.

This checks some reading goal boxes for me though! #yearofthechunkster #finishtheseries #mountTBRchallenge @DivaDiane

This entire series was completely mind blowing. It took me a while to get through the third book just because of all the science and the math went into all the detail. The storyline diverts a bit then comes back around and the characters all connect to each other and the result is an epic speculative fiction extravaganza. All the stars for this series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When you read a really good book, do you read it slowly and savor it or do you devour it to find out what happens? 📖

Mitch I‘ve just recently been looking at The Three Body problem- the first one? And I‘ve been undecided. As a newbie to the Sci fi genre would you recommend it?? 6y
JuliaTheBookNerd @Mitch if you‘re a newbie to Sci Fi I wouldn‘t recommend it. This trilogy is hard core Sci Fi and very dense. It would probably scare you off. I would say start with something more like Ender‘s Game to ease you into Sci Fi 😊 (edited) 6y

This book is the last in the "Three Body Problem" trilogy. It is a worthy final volume. The trilogy is compendium of science fiction ideas. Much of the fun of reading the three books derives from this fact. This final book is more of wild romp than the other two.

The scope of this novel just blows my mind! There's the conclusion of the Trisolaran crisis but so much more! I don't actually know how to talk about this book without talking about the whole trilogy but I'm so amazed. If you like smart science and technology in your sci-fi and detailed world building pick up this trilogy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
