Compared to Project Hail Mary, I thought this book moved very slowly and was a less interesting story of the challenges of space exploration. At many times it felt like Weir was just showing off all the technical jargon he knew and it was a bit alienating to readers. Frustrating pace where everything goes wrong, everything is fixed, everything goes wrong, etc.

Pretty darn good! It had everything I like in a sci-fi. Dragged at times. Had eye-roll-worthy attempts at humor sometimes. Kind of a masterclass in setback writing. I particularly liked the mix of POV journal writing and narrative bits. Not much more to say about this one. I would've liked some Earth resolution at the end.
