Yes. Without going into spoilers, the event that started the Deterrence Era blew my mind. It’s so rare to have an unexpected reversal like that in sci fi it really caught me by surprise.

I really wish I could read it in the original Chinese. The translator did a great job though.

Well, now you're making me want to go back into the series. I liked the premise of the first, but found the writing foreign - which, hey, it is! I felt like I really should read more everyday Chinese fiction as I didn't understand a lot of the nuance and it felt less polished (to my American sensibilities) as a result.
