A fascinating premise with lovable, intelligent characters. I appreciated the way the book was organized, I found the pacing enjoyable and I liked the twists. Weir brings characters to life in a beautiful way and makes me not hate reading about science.

I had a great time with this book! It's very different from the sci-fi I usually read - the tone is a lot more lighthearted, and there's a general handwavey avoidance of anything too complex or cynical - but that was actually a really enjoyable change of pace. I thought the concept was fascinating, and the exploration of the themes was well-developed. The story felt tight and clever, and the ending was perfection itself. Also, I would die for Rocky!
