The last third is actually not that bad ... if you just accept that it's more or less a separate novel loosely set in the same universe. But about 5000 years later. The first two parts are pretty awesome. I enjoy the last bit as well. It gets better on re-reading.

In related news, they apparently are working on a TV series of Seveneves: https://deadline.com/2024/08/legendary-tv-adapt-seveneves-sc...

It will be interesting to see if it progresses all the way to production.

I don’t think it was very good, it probably because it was too short. It’s basically a novella that severed as a kind of extended epilogue. It would have been better as a fully extended book two with space to develop all the characters and themes.
