I really do love the hard, challenging science in this sci-fi, the big ideas about the nature of the universe and human and alien culture and behavior, however bleak, but Liuâs characters are sacrificed to this and are just so flat and shallow. That would be fine if it werenât for the ridiculously misogynistic way he writes about women. I.E. science professorâs âdream girlâ is âslender,â (Liuâs fav word to describe women), âangeliclyâ beautiful, ânaive,â 20-something who immediately falls for himâŚshocking đ Add to that the popular opinion that itâs a real slog to get to the pay offâŚI wonât be reading the last one.
