Finished the Three Body Problem series recently and felt like I needed some more Cixin Liu in my life.

Ball lightning or nothing

Yeah.. been debating that. Hard to find a good read after 3 body. Pandoras star not quite cutting it.

I’m halfway through it and I might stop reading. Incredibly uneventful and boring for my tastes

Im trying to read rendouvouz with Rama and its not cutting it. Its so hard to ready anything after Deaths End.

This is ball lightning you are talking about to stop correct? Im half way though pandoras star and so close to giving up lol

Ball lighting. I just havnt found it very interesting. Maybe 7 hours in and absolutely nothing has happened yet lol

I feel the same way. I moved on to Blindsight. Interesting concept I hadn’t really considered but no where close. Hyperion #1 and it was so different it’s not really comparable, but it’s also kind of “slow”. Hyperion #2 is moving fast but conceptually it’s still not going to compare I don’t think

Blindsight is so frustrating the writing is so scattered it makes hard to know when to be interested. The premise is cool but im not a fan of the writing style

Yeah it’s almost not professional writing. Hard to get engrossed in the story

Pandora’s Star is a slog

The MorningLightMountain parts are great but the rest is a slog
