Coming from the Three Body Problem, I really enjoyed the very dramatic, ultra-cosmic-scale concepts he explores. Only gripe I have with this is the awkward conversations, especially in the beginning of the book, which took away a lot of the immersion. Still a fun read!
This is a Three-Body Problem Paraquel that adds some interesting ideas and reveals a few things to understand a bit more about Yun Tianming and everything that happened during-after Death's End. Here we also confirm how a useless character Cheng Xin is. If you disliked her in Death's End, this book in one page will increase that feeling.
In the other hand, the book leaves the usual SF and Physics approach and plays more with an Ultra Hyper Dimensional Universe of things (some people are considering it Fantasy), and I don't really know how to feel about it.
There is a pretty nice reference to Asimov's Foundation as well.
In a nutshell it's not in the same quality as the original trilogy but it is truly worth a read.
Pd: The English version of this book is coming out in a few months but I'm glad to found out that the Spanish version was already on the bookstores since last year.
This was a weird one. It started as fan fiction to the original trilogy that the author allowed to be cannon. It gets very very meta at the end. It essentially fills in gaps in the story and fleshes them out more and explains more of the end of the trilogy.
