Artemis is a great book for beginners to sci-fi. The plot is fairly easy and basic. We follow Jazz who lives on Artemis, the first city on the moon. Jazz wants to live a simple life, get rich, and have no worries. Unfortunately, she is flung into an adventure of crime, conspiracy, and corruption. Her main driving force is to repay her dad for a mistake she made in her youth. Jazz tends to make everything worse with her antics but as expected with books like these, everything works out.
I honestly did not enjoy Jazz very much. She acted like someone in their late teens/early 20s so when I found out she was 26 I was shocked. I love an FMC with a sarcastic, sassy side but Jazz overdid it and it felt like everything she said was dripping with sarcasm. Honestly, she needs to grow up!
Another thing that I did not like was the fact that Jazz broke the fourth wall and talked to the reader which was very distracting and took away from the story.
However, the science in this novel was easy to follow and understand which again makes this the perfect beginner-friendly sci-fi.
