Content warning Major spoiler on main plot elements
Next: 'The dark forest'. Plot-wise and idea-wise (is this a word? Now it is...) it was by far the best of the three parts. I mainly like the idea of science to be stuck to a certain level and the possibilities for humanity to keep evolving. The other main part, marching toward certain doom, made this all the more compelling. The concept of the four wallfacers versus wallbreakers was awesome.
Two points of criticism. At times, the story dragged on a bit. Also, the main character was a bit unbelievable and utterly unrelatable (although the latter was possibly the point, i get the idea that the reader was supposed to dislike him).
