Space adventure on Mars
A classic space adventure with a strong female protagonist, it reminded me of Heinlein's books. I took a star off because, I felt that the main character's personality did not come through very clearly. She appeared at the beginning to be a cold hearted, logic driven business woman. Yet, a man falls in love with her so hard he's willing to help her after a brief meeting. I didn't see anything in her that would warrant the devotion. She also had no friends on Earth but managed to make a lot of friends once she's on Mars. What changed? It would have been a 4 star, maybe even a 5 star read if her personality and changes/ growth inside her had been made more explicit.
