Just got through the scene with the droplet … and I’m not sure a piece of science fiction has ever filled me with so much dread and tension and despair. This series has done such an incredible job so far with its massive and daunting temporal scope, and this battle (massacre?) made me feel the superiority of Trisolaris on a painfully visceral level. Just exquisite writing.

I’m supposed to be up in five hours for work but my brain just wants to keep reading.
