A really good follow up to The Three-Body Problem. Love how the author tied in The Dark Forest to the plot of this story. I will say the layout of the "chapters" and parts of this book take a little getting used to, but ultimately doesn't detract from the reading experience. 

My one "problem" with this book were the scenes with
Spoilerthe Droplet
and everything that immediately happens after. It felt like less could have been more.
