I had high hopes going into this one after loving The Martian and Project Hail Mary, but I really struggled. The main character is supposed to be 26 years old, but acts like a 16 year old, and honestly is tough to like. The humor (mostly sexual) felt forced and the plot also felt less interesting up until the end. This book didn't have the scientific edge that Weir's other books have. The setting is neat, but otherwise, not much to say about this one.
