Book finished: Death's End
Oct. 8th, 2016 07:20 pmDeath's End by Cixin Liu
★★★☆☆
I actually finished this a couple of days ago and waited to let my thoughts about it settle for a bit.
The first book was a bit of a slow start, but then got interesting to me. I enjoyed the second. This one started out much the same, but about halfway through it just started to get bizarre, and it just went downhill from there.
It's very imaginative, but it's really more like a bunch of junk the author thought up hammered together and strung together on a few characters which are hopped forward in time in order to provide some cohesion.
Three stars is still "I liked it" but I really can't say I "really liked it."
