I really enjoyed this one. I cannot say that Weir is a phenomenal author when it comes to the use of language or creating characters - original ones at least - but his world-building and storytelling are phenomenala. I had no knowledge about the book prior to reading it and I ended up really enjoying it. In particular, the interspecies relationships with aliens and the non-human centric themes of the book were phenomenal. Would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in space and dystopian novels.
