A banger!!!!
What a sequel. To best the first is hard and Cixin Liu really did it here. When we jumped forward in time we went much more futuristic sci fi and that’s my shit. I found the various wallfacer stories satisfying but it took us a long time to get there. The mind changing story mostly went nowhere.were the people mostly mind swapped then? Bc they were so confident and so violently reacted to the battle at Jupiter?
Very curious about the third!
