Ball Lightning

I picked up this book because I want to read the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, and I was told Ball Lightning was a sort of prequel. I don't know if it's true, but this book wasn't that amusing. The pace was slow, more hardcore sci-fi than I expected, and I turned out to be really interesting in the last chapters. I have mixed feelings for some characters (especially Lin Yun), but I wasn't impressed by the others either. I don't think character development was important in this book, so maybe that's the reason why I don't feel compelled for any of them. All in all, it was a decent read, and I'm definitely reading the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy because it seems to be way better than this book.
