A review by dzirkler
Before Mars by Emma Newman

5.0

Wow. Much like in [b:Planetfall|24237785|Planetfall (Planetfall, #1)|Emma Newman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1424627926l/24237785._SX50_.jpg|43823353], I was emotionally invested in this one. I tore through this much faster than I normally do. This series has me really wondering where this is going to go. I loved the main character in this, and her struggles really resonated with me. These "flawed" main characters are so relatable.

This one picks up around the end of [b:After Atlas|28361265|After Atlas (Planetfall, #2)|Emma Newman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1456689269l/28361265._SY75_.jpg|48430277]. About half way through, I did pick up on where the story was going to go (in broad strokes at least), but it did not take away from my enjoyment of the book.

Overall, this was the best of the series so far. I'm not sure if I'm ready to move to the 4th book, or if I should take some emotional space and read something a little less intense first.
