Review: Death's End

Death's End by Liu Cixin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hooter: An extra terrestrial grand canvas for the wrap of the Three Body Problem trilogy

I loved the trilogy and Death's End brings a finality to the series hence the three stars (insert trisolaran joke). Liu Cixin takes the adage that no person is bigger than the greater cause because none of the characters stand out against the vast canvas in terms of space and time continuum. Death's End switches centuries and takes in many leaps of civilisation through the Deterrant era, Bunker era and the times and rribulations of humanity at the grandest scale in the science fiction domain. Death's end is more of a science fiction thesis than a story , and that is where the left and right side of my brain have clashed going through this space odyssey.

The stage is a wonderful masterpiece, the director of the play and the acrors could have done a better job with my expectations set high with the previous two books.
