I just finished The Dark Forest and I've got to say: I was not enjoying myself until halfway through. TBP was a slog and the first half of TDF was more of the same. But the second half of TDF? It was alllll worth it for me. I couldn't put it down and I'm super excited to start book three.
Ymmv but I've got no regrets sticking with it.
Fingers crossed it will work out this way with Three Body Problem. I will finish it
How'd it go? I finished the third book. No regrets
Also finished Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky which I actually enjoyed a lot more.. but maybe I'm a simpleton
I finished it and it picked up in the final couple of chapters, but i too still preferred Children of Time; that was maybe the most eye opening 'what if' about a completely believable alien species. I've read many SF books, but this one was the only one where i found it to be a totally convincing, completely different species.
