  > A Memory Called Empire and A Desolation Called Peace are two of the best SF books I've read in the last 10 years. I loved them. I found them fun and engaging (I wouldn't have read the second one otherwise) but ultimately not outstanding. > Three-Body problem is one of the greatest SF books of all time, IMO. This is an opinion I am constantly baffled with. I found it awful, simply devoid of redeeming features; no interesting plot, no interesting technical ideas, no interesting characters, no interesting writing. (The worldbuilding could've perhaps been interesting if it hadn't been so thin.)
