Brief Summary: Death's End wraps up the series of books written by Cixin Liu about the Dark Forest.
Long Summary: The final book in the series presents the final twists and turns humanity faces with regards to the Dark Forest. In an effort not to give any spoilers I am going to just generally address the book. The book follows the Sword-holder, Cheng Xin, in her effort to preserve humanity in the dark forest era. She makes several, in my opinion, questionable decisions regarding the fate of humanity. Her decisions cause a cascade to happen and drives the plot and humanity forward into the dark forest. Cheng is put into hibernation several times and wakes up to make decisions for humanity. In the end her decisions seals humanities fate.
Overall I enjoyed the series and am glad I took the time to read. The characters lack a slight bit of development and relationships are not explored deeply. I appreciate the world building and thought provoking nature of the books.
Rating: 4/5
