A good start to a new Space Opera series, but suffers a bit from too many snarky, clever characters who seem to share the same voice. I still enjoyed it and definitely want to see where the Empire goes given the challenges from the book.

After finishing this book it's so strange to think that it all started with Three Body Problem. The ending is so far away from that first book that it feels like I've been put through an ordeal I couldn't have expected. The ending is strange, crazy, and beautiful.

At this point, I'm comfortable saying this is easily one of the best sci fi series out there, and one of my favorites.

I didn't dislike this book, but it definitely felt like a step back from the first one. I'm still interested in continuing the series, but this story was comparatively week, so I'm dropping the rating down a bit.

Easily my favorite Klosterman book. The concepts and ideas in this one will likely sound like nonsense to people that are used to him mostly talking solely about pop culture.

A fun sci-fi heist book with science that seems realistic.

Sooo much slow exposition in the middle... but the end was great.

My feelings on this book can be summed up as:

"Borne was..."

The ending of this book is definitely a thing that happens, but I'm not sure I'd call it satisfactory. The world is interesting, but I don't feel like we really got to explore it enough. There were a few instances that felt anticlimactic and I'm not sure what else I was supposed to get from this book.

Cool setting, interesting main character, but it just kinda happens and you're left guessing on a lot of it.

This book was interesting and had some great points but it was incredibly repetitive.
