A floresta sombria, segundo volume da premiada trilogia de ficção científica chinesa, é um livro incrivelmente forte e original. Depois de O problema dos três corpos, a humanidade se prepara para a iminente invasão alienígena. A Organização Terra-Trissolaris — formada por habitantes da Terra que traíram seus iguais para se associar aos alienígenas — pode ter sido derrotada, mas a presença de partículas subatômicas, os sófons, revela todo o conhecimento da humanidade para os invasores, e as defesas terráqueas são um livro aberto para os trissolarianos. Nesse contexto, em que só a mente humana é segura, é montado o Projeto Barreiras: quatro pessoas serão encarregadas de pensar em uma estratégia para a salvação do mundo. A Barreira está completamente isolada, protegendo seus pensamentos do restante da humanidade, mas até que ponto é possível guardar um segredo?

Tremenda secuela para El problema de tres cuerpos. Bien escrita, la parte científica siempre hace mucho sentido y el desarrollo de los personajes está muy cuidado.

This was an almost perfect book. The main issue of the lack of character development in the first book was significantly improved in this installment, making it feel like an entirely new book. The writing was slightly less dry than in The Three-Body Problem, perhaps due to translation nuances. The ideas this time were excellent, leaning a bit more towards the political side but still very engaging. The only reason this book falls short of a five-star rating is the pacing, which felt a bit uneven. Some parts were quick and easy to read, while others were unnecessary and slow.
