Sorry for not writing for a while. Life has been so hectic and I haven't even had time to read (which kills me). I hope someone out there cares! Hahah :)
Artemis left me wondering if we will ever have a city on the moon. While this book is fiction, it raised some interesting questions in my mind about the science of inhabiting the moon. Are people capable of thinking of all the things that could go wrong? Probably not. That is what makes this book both believable and relatable.
Jasmine, aka Jazz, is a smuggler on the moon colony of Artemis. She has spent almost her whole life living there. When you want something you probably shouldn't have, she's the girl you go to. We follow her as she goes from virtually invisible to the center of a larger hidden plot in Artemis. Along the way we are bombarded by her sarcasm and her interesting take on the world around her. She feels like a real person. But maybe that's because I'm highly sarcastic myself.
Weir does a good job of sucking the reader into the world and keeping the story realistic. There are no aliens or fantasy to be found, and I appreciated that aspect. I enjoyed the science in the story and didn't feel overwhelmed by it. The fact that the story is so realistic helps the readability of Artemis. Overall, if you enjoyed The Martian I think you will enjoy Atemis as well.
I give Artemis by Andy Weir 📖📖📖.5 / 5.
