4.5

This book is a sci-fi because “Artemis” is a city on the moon. That comes with its own problems but the book is even more than that. In fact, it deals with money, mafia, crime- all worldly stuff. That is actually the great thing about science-fiction – it can be combined with anything and makes any other story even more interesting!

So… a city on the moon. We add to that a deeply flawed heroine and …instant best – seller? Well…not so much. I really can’t understand why, but it never reached the fame of “The Martian”. I enjoyed it and find it’s even better than “The Martian”- action and character wise, but that is not the popular opinion. You’ll just have to read it and see for yourself.
