Han pasado casi dos meses desde que terminé la trilogía y me sigue dando escalofríos. Creo que este libro es como el terror cósmico realista, esas ideas de lo inmenso (lo inconmensurable) del universo. Lo terriblemente cruel que es la supervivencia, el poco freno que la moral puede poner a eso. Y lo peor, lo cercano y verdadero que se siente eso...

The conclusion of the Remembrance of Earth's Past makes Interstellar look like baby shit.

Great book. The development of the story is amazing. It scratches all the sci-fi itches and it's highly addictive.

My only complaint about this book is that it's the last written by Liu Cixin (in this series) and the ending seemed too quick for me. I would love to have more development and many more books on this universe to read.

This is really a 4.5 for me. As this series has progressed, the writing has been better and better. Once again, the author has been able to mix a vast, epochal scale, with a small, intimate story. It was optimistic at its core, despite being riddled with pessimism.

If you like (extremely) hard sci-fi, this whole series is wonderful.

In between significant and smaller blind spots—including, like Goethe, promoting a stalker's idea of love—is a work of phenomenal imagination. It's the most absorbing book of the three, and excitingly explores ideas of humans in time and space.

An excellent conclusion to one of the best sci-fi trilogies I've read.

The book as a whole was wonderful and I'm so glad I read it, but I do want to mention that as endings go, I felt the ending of the second book more satisfying and conclusive.

Some notes about the ending from my reread (for those who have read the book):



The ending was way more melodramatic than it needed to be, in my opinion. There were a couple easy solutions:

- Presumably AA and Yun Tianming had their own ship (or how did Tianming get there) so couldn't they have flown up to relativistic speeds and gone forward in time to meet the others? I'll admit that timing the deaccelaration would be extremely tricky since they didn't actually know when the others would come out of relativistic speeds, but it could probably be solved with some application …

El derroche de ideas deslunbra y sorprende, CiFi hard pura, pero @liu_cixin cojea en el desarrollo de personajes. Clásico instantáneo aunque no la recomendaría a no habituales del género.
