    Oh my fuckin god, if you’re into sci-fi then you’re in FOR THE BIGGEST TREAT OF YOUR LIFE!

    This series is damn amazing. I didn’t read the book myself but I listen to audiobooks and recaps/explainations on YT. And I can tell you that this is NOT your typical space sci-fi “mankind vs. alien” motives. It’s so…SO much more.

    The Netflix series has changed a lot of original material to be more appealing and relatable to western audience, and I don’t blame them.

      I’ve been listening to the audiobooks and more than anything else I’ve been struggling with keeping track of the characters due to the names being so Chinese. It’s very Western of me, but I can’t remember any of the names from minute to minute.

      I also think the narrator is kinda meh, and that’s important in an audiobook.

        LoL aren’t we all the same. I’m Asian (not Chinese) and sometimes I can’t keep track of Western names in movies and shows, too. :))

          I’m sure.

          I try to be open - I really do. But it’s hard!
