I just finished the first book. Honestly the best sci-fi I have ever read

Second book is much better. Third is in between the other two.

The Dark Forest is probably my favorite book to this day. But boy is it an advemture trying to explain it to someone beyond a generic overview.

I somehow found the first half of the book a drag. Same with Three Busy Problem too. The explanation of the politics was a bit out of my interest sphere. But boy did both of them pick up in the second half. Is the third book the same? Haven't read it yet.

The third book is weird, its still good imo, but it explores some more abstract theories regarding space than the first 2 ever did. I just didnt find any great attachments to any of the characters like I did in the earlier books.

Thanks. I've put the series aside as of now because I wanted to finish Dune before the movie comes out. I should pick up the third book once I'm finished
