I was very happy to stumble upon this post. I’ve been struggling through The Dark Forest for what feels like forever. I’m usually a pretty voracious reader, but this series is like quicksand to me. It’s really really boring. I just keep hoping it will get interesting. It threatens to…and then starts sucking again. I never DNF books, but I’m so SO tempted here. Glad there are others out there!
Yea, the Dark Forest is a slooooooooog. While I liked the way the last book wraps up the metaphysics of this world, getting there was utterly exhausting.
Dang. Does that mean I need to finish it all out?? 😂
Mileage may vary. There are so many books out there, find ones that speak to you. Not that effort in reading is bad, but I think this series is really, really mixed. You can always go back later if you're curious.
