From The Martian to Artemis, Andy Weir never ceases to amaze. This book is much more a heist adventure about colonization and economics compared to the man vs nature conflicts of The Martian but damn I loved Jazz as a lead. Everyone around her was fun and bright and made for great contrast to an asshole.
Some of the action sequences didn’t quite land for me, but Weir is better at the technical than the fighting, which is why I’m so drawn to his books to begin with.
Also, the romance didn’t land for me. At all. Hard pass. Luckily, it’s not a big factor of the book, so I won’t knock it too hard.
This got me excited for Project Hail Mary all over again. It’s been on my shelf untouched for about a year, but it’s now bumped up on my TBR.
