I just finished The Three-Body Problem and it's... frustrating is the right word.
It's a really interesting world full of great ideas and the science is spot on, and everything else is just so boring.

All of the characters are stoic badasses who just sit around and stare off into the distance. The only character I saw that had any sort of strong personality was The American General being brash and American talking about America while everyone else was calming him down.

Nobody ever just f***ing talks to each other and explains what's going on, instead wanting to show things, despite just explaining the situation would be faster and easier.

I'm not 100% sure how it got a Hugo Award.
