Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay.
Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge and, with human science advancing and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations can co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But peace has made humanity complacent.
Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the 21st century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the start of the Trisolar Crisis, and her presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle?

The author has thought hard and deep about the nature of mankind and that of our universe !
Like the first two volumes, there are surprises galore in this one. And lots and lots of hard science! If you have liked the series so far, you cannot go wrong reading this epic conclusion.
Top reviews from other countries

I found parts of the second and third books difficult to read. I had to force myself to read through them - the ideas and events were almost too much to consume. It was difficult to focus on the fact that this is all fiction. But there was still that doubt - what if this is really what the Universe holds? It is a scary thought. Perhaps with books like this, humanity might be better prepared for what might really be worst-case scenarios?
This is why I have given this book four stars instead of five. I cannot say I love it. I love it and hate it. The ideas it encompasses, the situations and the - callousness? - of the universe and those that inhabit it were a struggle to have in my head. But it is worth it, to experience the universe anew, and expand the way I think about it - albeit in a (hopefully) fictional way.
I must also give a special thank you to the translators and editors - they have done a magnificent job, I hardly knew it had been translated at all!
Like climbing a mountain, it can be stressful and difficult at times, but the vista from the top can make it worth it.

How the author was able to write this down and the translators get it across in English is nothing short of miraculous. I couldn't put these books down and felt a real sense of loss when I finished.
Absolutely fantastic and immersive reading experience.

I've no idea how Amazon Video is going to be able to turn these books into a watchable TV series, but I've little doubt that it will require the reported Billion dollars that Jeff Bezos is prepared to pay in order to even attempt to realise something as grand and as complex as this story on the small screen. I will certainly look forward to seeing the attempt, but in any event, if you like SF then do yourself a massive favour and read this series.

Was also left wondering what the whole tale was about. Relations between East and West? A commentary on the futility of war? There are always bigger fish?
The characters weren’t great either. Pretty two dimensional and charicature like.
Shame because as I say there were some great ideas. There were too many bad decisions made in book 2 to make it believable ie the idea that sword bearers should be given the keys to the future of mankind by a global council without any discernible good reason. …… and so on……

The good bits for me was the love story involving aerospace engineer Cheng Xin, who takes on the role of Swordholder, which followed on (I felt) less excitingly from that of the Wallfacer in the previous book, and average Joe, Yun Tianming, that literally stretched in unrequited fashion over eons, and even in disembodied form (you have to read it yourself; much too many details to labour over). However, even that storyline was checkered, and unsurprisingly so, because of all the eras spanning centuries or more that the reader has to travel through plus all the astrophysics to navigate.
So it comes as a huge relief when I got totally drawn into the fantasy tales that Yun Tianming tells Cheng Xin as an allegory and possibly hidden message about the Trisolarians who may or may not be ready to live in peace with the human race. Those tales are nestled in the middle part of 600+ pages and were good enough reasons for me to power through and not give up, and see how they were significant to the main storyline.
Another character that held an interest for me is a Lucy Liu-like character from “Kill Bill”, who is actually a Sophon, or a Trisolarian android acting as a kind of envoy and communications agent, who spectacularly splices with her samurai sword some pesky humans who just cannot wait their turn to get at the food supplies in the story arc about displaced populations herded like refugees in the Australian continent, which was a terrifying part of the novel. But she too similarly disappears and reappears another few eras later.
The unifying character Cheng Xin and her faithful sidekick AA hibernates through many eras to finally reach another terrifying prospect of the entire solar system collapsing into two dimensions. That in itself was spectacularly dealt with but as they journeyed on to more desolation, it really felt too dark and bleak for me.
A clever and intelligent book, but I felt buried under the deluge of ideas and information.
