A review by teenagelightning
Before Mars by Emma Newman
2.0
A pretty poor entry to the Planetfall series. This book let me get waaaaay too far ahead. The big "surprise" ending - which the whole book relies on - can be worked out in chapter 1. I foolishly kept reading in the hope I had it wrong, or a more interesting explanation would be offered.
Plot has been Newman's strong point in this series but it didn't work for me here, and the prose was worse than usual. I think I'm done with this series. However, Book 1 remains a ripper in its own right!
