![]() ![]() The Dark Forest picks up almost where Three Body left off, but different characters are at the forefront. ![]() Naturally, venturing into The Dark Forest, (this time translated by Joel Martinsen) I was apprehensive about what I might find, and holy hell, was I unprepared for Cixin Liu’s sophomore effort. ![]() But the dialogue and overall story I found a little lacking. Cixin Liu, as translated by Ken Liu, did a great job synthesizing the history of the cultural revolution in China with the events of his book and some big time physics concepts. Upon reading it, however, I had a similar reaction to another of our reviewers (Andrew), in that certain aspects of the story really stood out to me, while a lot of the book felt like it was rushing to the second book in the series. The Three Body Problem has sat on my mental bookshelf ever since I first heard of it, and I was afraid I’d be too dumb to understand it. This year I’ve decided I need to catch up on some of the big science fiction classics and recent acclaimed series. ![]()
