The final chapter of the Remembrance of earth's past trilogy, which started with the Three Body problem is finally closed in this book. Ratings and reviews aside, I had to pick it up to get closure on the story line.
This book is a direct continuation of the The Dark Forest, which was an excellent follow up to the Three Body problem. There was certainly something satisfying in picking up the story where the last one left off but there are even some overlaps with the previous story to build up to the ending. The author builds up the new characters in this story line as well, very well I might add and the story starts to get a little, I want to say, confusing? towards the end. Granted this is a science fiction novel but lets just say that a lot more liberty's were taken in the writing of this one than the previous two.
Overall I wouldn't rate this as high as the first two books in the series, and primarily due to the sheer length and unsatisfying ending but very interesting read that explores new concepts in science fiction that, even after reading the previous two books, I did not see coming.
