I love how Andy weir does science and drama within science. Interesting plot that kept me on my toes. The main character annoyed me at times though by being so intelligent yet stupid at the same time.

Artemis took its time, but once its string was taught it shot off like an arrow.
This book started a little slow and a little weird, but man did it do what it set out to do well. Andy Weir never disappoints, and while this was my least favorite of his three books it was still a master class is approachable science fiction.
I rarely say this, but I feel like this book could have been about 50 pages longer. The ending didn’t feel super rushed, but I would have loved to spend more time having the characters resolve their issues. There are a couple of people that are left out of the resolution section, and I wanted to see them again.
I really enjoyed the epistolary part of this books! Jazz and Kelvin have such an interesting friendship/partnership and I wanted to see more of it.
I did have a couple of issues with Jazz’s internal monologue, especially her weird take on sex/sex work. At the beginning of the book it was hard to remember that she was a woman, and then as the book went on she had some weird thoughts that made it very obvious that she had been written by a man 🤣 not enough of a problem for me to dislike the book, but it was definitely noticeable.
The writing was great, the story was tight, and the characters were as funny as I now expect Andy Weir’s characters to be. I am very much looking forward to his next book. 4 stars.

Definitely not as good as The Martian, but still totally entertaining. I wasn't particularly convinced by Weir's take on the female perspective, which is why I docked a star—there were moments that I felt it was obvious she was written by a man, and that took me out of the story. Unlike The Martian, the entire book is written from Jazz's perspective, so I would have wanted it to be more seamless.
