Death's End

I feel that this series has gotten better with each subsequent book culminating into an amazing finale. That being said Death's End was still a novel of two tales for me. On the one hand you have some of the most brilliant future science fiction out there. Idea's that absolutely capture the imagination and you see how humanity progresses and regresses over such a large time scale. It's incredibly enthralling.

Then on the other side, without going into spoilers, you have certain decisions that Cheng Xian is making through the novel, but some of them have extremely weak reasoning and are not very compelling. It gets to the point that it's actually bit frustrating.

So again I didn't like the character writing...is basically what that amounts to. Story of the three books there. Yet, I found the science fiction aspect so captivating and enjoyed the unfolding of this incredibly bleak story to such an extent that it not only warrants 5 stars despite any flaws it may have, but it will also hold a place on my favourites list moving forward.
