Is there anyone who has read it? I started watching the series on Netflix, but after a few episodes, I couldn’t stand the wild oversimplifications at the expense of sound logic, and other typical Netflix checklist items. There, Eiza Gonzalez is good, yes, might be a solid reason to watch a couple of episodes. Couldn’t bear all of it and stopped watching, then ordered the book. I’ve read a quarter of it. So far, very intriguing — solid science fiction, very much in the spirit of Asimov and Clarke. The book doesn’t remotely have that Marvel-style superhero aura. Initially, it was obvious that it was translated from Chinese and as a result, the English there sounded odd. Once that thought occurred to me, I started looking more carefully for examples, but there aren’t any. Either it was just the beginning, or my own prejudices. Well, we’ll see, 3/4 left. If anyone has read it, let me know what you think (but no spoilers). It’s actually a trilogy, so there are two more volumes to go.
