REVIEW: The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu

JanineB Reviews / B+ Reviews / Book Reviews20th century / betrayal / China / gaming / near-future / POC / POC author / Scientist / SF10 Comments

Dear Liu Cixin, Your bestselling science fiction novel translated from Chinese to English by author Ken Liu, The Three Body Problem, caught my attention shortly after its publication in the US last summer.

Dear Ms. Lin, I’ve enjoyed your recent historical romances very much, so when I saw you would be writing a new series set in a steampunk world based on China during the era of the Boxer Rebellion, I requested a copy for review. The heroine and narrator of Gunpowder Alchemy ... more >

Dear Ms. Smith, I greatly enjoyed your YA historical novel, Flygirl, in which a young African American woman passes for white in order to join the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. I loved Ida Mae’s story, so when I saw that you had a new book ... more >
