JASMINE BASHARA never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. …

Review of 'Artemis' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I enjoyed Artemis.

Cons: It not as well put together as Martian - the pop culture references, gender roles and lgbtq representation is stuck in the mid 2000's and don't have the excuse of Mark's limited media sources.

Pros: I really enjoyed the asshole of a main character being a woman. I loved it. Jaz makes bad decisions as easily as breathing, AND she owns her mistakes, and has her own code of honour.
Jaz is a genious AND doesn't give a crap about 'living up to her potential', she wants to be rich and have an easy life and not owe anyone anything. This type of character is usually portrayed as male and I really dug it.

Pros: The states didn't settle the moon. The world seems to have moved on from North American domination, and Kenya settled the damned moon thank you very much.
