A place for my thoughts. Maybe yours. Maybe we can talk. It's up to you and whether or not you post here.

Just don't be a jerk.

I finished Adastra and I just want to die because I can't do anything new with Amicus. 😭

The Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy ruined sci-fi for me for quite a while. I couldn’t read anything else for months.

I had a similar, but opposite experience. I got very into The Three Body Problem. The Dark Forest was good, but not really my cup of tea, but I'd heard such good things I carried on. I did not like Death's End one bit and was really trying to slog through but threw in the towel half way through, looking for something light and fun and magical to cleanse the palate after that gory depression fest. I picked up The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett (delightful) and didn't read any sci-fi for a year or so.
