A review by bazwilkinson85
Supernova Era by Cixin Liu

Did not finish book. Stopped at 89%.

I really wanted more Liu after finishing the Three Body Problem trilogy. This is obviously aimed at a younger audience but did have high hopes. The opening few chapters with the details of the supernova event and the end of the adults were incredible. From there it just went flat for me. None of the characters I could really relate to (they ARE children I guess) and they all seemed to be written to be purposefully annoying. As the story went on it became more and more stupid with lots of obvious references to current wars and political games. It seemed to be extremely thinly veined satire and whilst the concept was great, I just couldn't finish it. I didn't really care how it ended of what happened to any of the characters sadly.
