The Dark Forest

Up until 3/4 of the book I was thinking of giving it 3 stars but considering it has one of the greatest (top 5 easily IMO, spoiler: the grim droplet scene and the battles in darkness) scenes of all literary science fiction I've read in its second half plus the absolutely, amazing end I changed my mind. Few books have achieved what this one did, will probably be one of my favourites for a long time.

Couldn't believe how this one was rated higher than the first one but now I understand. And it is so amazing on its own way that I find the trilogy could've ended there and it'd been great.
