I'm reading Reaper by Will Wight. It's the 10th out of 12.

The Three-Body Problem. It's okay but I'm having trouble understanding why it got so much acclaim.

    Oooof, that's a tough read. I sped through all three and a few years later I'm still conflicted. There's a lot that I really appreciate about the series (including the end) and a lot that I can't stand (no spoilers).

    It's objectively decent, but oh so wooden at points.

    I'm halfway through the second book. There is a lot that's very culturally specific and while Ken Liu provides notes for a lot of it, there's some stuff that he doesn't really explain, which may be part of it. Some of it is just the way things are written or described, it's a different style.
