Congratulations to Cixin, the Dark Forest trilogy is not my favourite work but especially the first book reads very very well.
The last two books suffer from exposing the "Dark Forest" base premise/theory which I find too simplistic* to carry the narrative realistically forward. Almost wish more of the internal mechanics of the universe had been left unexposed since it would have allowed the reader to extrapolate/fantasize more.
