I can see why everyone likes this book. Weir's writing style is fun and easy and he makes the science accessible, and it was a huge relief after how much I didn't get on with Artemis. The amnesia set up a strong start, I think there were a few pacing issues in the middle and towards the end, but the main place the book lets me down is the characters - or lack thereof.

This book was so well paced and I adored Rocky so much. I don’t want to spoil it but it had so many ups and downs and was really emotional for me in the end. Can see why it’s being made into a movie.

The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is I wanted to know so much more about Erid.

Fun ride. A bit slow in parts and it felt like any time anything happened there had to be a new issue to be overcome by science™️, so would have been nice if they just removed ~15% of the issues and tightened the book up a little.

But otherwise super cool. Good intrigue. Very slow, with attention to detail. The relationship between Grace and Rocky though was fun.
