3.75 stars. Solid and entertaining read, especially enjoyed the ending. I loved the integration of science with Chinese myth and history. And thought Ken Liu did an excellent translation, particularly with the fact that he left some words like long and qi lin in the pinyin, which helped maintain the authenticity and artistic choices of the original.
