The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
challenging
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

I was recommended this book by my coworker after seeing around the internet. Hefty read! With two more 😱
Like @bojangles I was surprised that this alien invasion story does not even see alien invasion in the first book. The political drama was engaging to read most of the time though could drag on at points. I wonder the motivations and reasoning of welcoming the aliens to invade. Replacing one regime for another? Idk man. Curious to see how they deal with the now 400 year time span (at this point I’ve begun the sequel and I see we will span those years so strap in babes).
I thought the chapters in the VR game were really fun, and I enjoyed reading how the characters figured out the THREE BODY PROBLEM 🤪🤪
