We Are Mars by Cheryl Lawson
4.0
This is an entertaining and creative story about a Martian colony under threat.
I really enjoyed reading Cheryl Lawson’s story about a Martian colony that after initial excitement has failed to capture the interest of humanity and is now in a state of progressive deterioration.
I found the protagonists very likeable, especially Dana. Normally I’m not a fan of stories told by an omniscient narrator that presents multiple points of view but here it is executed very well and doesn’t stop the reader from caring about the characters and their fate.
The novel has great pacing (something I wasn’t able to say about James A Corey’s much praised “Leviathon Wakes”) though I have to concede that from about half-way into the book the story starts setting up the sequel.
We Are Mars is a good read if you’re interested in what a Martian colony might look like one day.
