Artemis by Andy WeirMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love love loved Weir's The Martian book, and had high hopes for this. It was good, but not nearly as good as that one. The story followed a young woman who lives in a community on the (now colonized) moon. She is somewhat of an outlaw, smuggling in contraband and doing odd jobs for anyone who will pay. When she is approached to perform an even greater crime, she can't resist but soon finds herself in a world of trouble.
The best part of this book was the action - it read quickly and was fun to see what happened next. However, the biggest issue with this book was the character development. It was obviously a man writing a woman in the first person, and he was not familiar with how a woman would think/act/want. Fatal flaw.
