This is what the first book should have been; and the first shouldn't even be used as fuel for a fire.

More magical, characters way less flat and you get to bond with them and grow attached while they grow as characters.

Enough mysticism to keep you interested but not much to make it pure phantasy.

I really wanted to like this book; despite that it was pretty dull.

I guess I was expecting more magic and less generic-drama style of writing :/

The book is mostly just love and despair stories and no real twists.

I'm already knee deep on this and I'm starting the 2nd book but mostly out of wanting to finish than because I feel involved with the story.

I could do with just reading a 2 paragraphs summary of the book TBQF

Not particularly mind blowing but it contains a few nuggets of information on how to navigate this career path, making it a must read for Individual Contributors going the Management route.

I particularly enjoyed the Team Lead definitions and role responsibilities as well as how nicely the author manages to clearly differentiate each role from the previous one.

Not much to add than what others are commenting.

The book has interesting ideas but the abuse of the breaking of the forth wall and the constants "burn this book" made the "novel" approach just an overused crotch.

The story has its highlights, small nevertheless, but some highlights at least.

The book will entertain you if you are looking for a light read; bud definitely do not expect a mind blowing experience. Done think Clive is offering anything extraordinary and at times reads repetitive, slow and just filled with "big words" to make the story seem more interesting and involved than what it is.

The books is ok-ish. Nothing really happens and there's zero character development.

I was waiting for some sort of surprise development nearing the end of the book and then it just ended...

I felt like someone had ripped a few chapters at the end.

Definitely not something I would recommend :/

Nice interesting idea for a story. Development of the main topic happens too fast. Not enough time to build a relationship with the characters. Before you know they are fucked and you couldn't care less because you are not invested in them.

Still a good idea, looking forward to reading future books from this author

It's a decent book. Interesting story about magic and political critic; then turns heads first into a 'Young Adult' hormone crazy borderline "City of Bones" (thankful not as horrible). So far so good; interesting progression, truth be told the plot twists are somewhat obvious.

Up until that point I'm ok with the book. The ending though... feels too rushed; as if the author was running out of pages and had to cram in the end; quite unfortunate.

Do recommend reading the companion Webtoon in WEBTOONs app/website; the illustrations are nice and the adaptation from the book is quite good.

Liu kept the writing style and rhythm from the Three Body Problem in this one.

The beginning is hard to digest and get into the pace that this book has; but once you get into it is a page turner

Lots of seemingly disconnected plots converge at the very end to give the book a whole new meaning

Interesting play in the old time travel story.

The book is interesting; will keep you glued to the pages wondering what next; even though you already know as it doesn't propose any groundbreaking storytelling Avenue.

Still quite interesting and enjoyable
