3 stars
I went into this book with high expectations and excitement, and while this is a perfectly entertaining novel, it didn't come close in my estimation to the fast-paced, survivalist action of the Martian. Jazz is a super intelligent young woman living in Artemis, the first city on the moon. She is obsessed with making money and goes from one heist to another, avoiding police and her father. Involvement with a huge corporation and the Brazilian mafia soon puts her in over her head and she is forced to work with a motley group pulled together in order to save her city. Jazz has a very similar snarky attitude to the Martian's Mark Watney but it just doesn't gel as well with her personality and this situation. This book also includes science overload with description of life on the moon both fascinating and incredibly dull. I still have high hopes for future space novels from Weir, but this probably won't rank as a favorite. I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
