Reviews with content warning for Fire/Fire injury - Artemis

A simple heist goes berserk and becomes a tense race to sway the rule of the only city in the moon. Weir can definitely do science and logic his way through science fiction, and even if my eyes glazed over on some of the explanations, he knows what he's talking about. Major points off for there being a regular stream of irrelevant lines that reminded me that this main character is in fact a women written by a man. Not to mention the statement that basically said incest is fine on the moon??

I enjoyed this read! It was really fun and I liked the group of characters. It really held my attention! But, its very obvious that Jazz was written by a man... I appreciate the diversity, but it wasn't always very well done.

Once I got over the awe of the sciency-ness of space and world building, the repetitive reminders of moon gravity and air got old. The main character, Jazz, is also very obviously written by a man because no woman thinks or talks about herself like she does. The weird anti-union sentiments popping up every couple chapters were out of place. Only rating it as high as I am because I really did enjoy a good deal of the space talk and main character aside, there were a good handful of cool women in this story.
