Full Review On Reading Blog || Socials

Ok, I am a bit bummed.

I don't know what I was expecting, but this story just didn't do it for me. I persevered and finished the book, but I won't lie, I skipped a page here and there.

Why? More than 80% of the book is log entries. thought, ok, well hopefully this will be jam packed with science.

I forgot the protagonist is a Botanist and fixes things - so not the science I have much interest in. I do not care about the specifics of growing plants - I have a garden in my backyard I can learn from. I do not care about how fast a theoretical rover could go with enough solar power. I was aching for cool science and felt this book didn't deliver for me.

Now, this is obviously a very personal experience I had with this book. Had it been more focused on computer science or on the NASA headquarters, I likely would have been more intrigued by this book.

I am giving it 3 stars because I did not enjoy finishing this book. It was a DNF initially, was a 5 star book around 60 pages in, and then dwindled down to three stars by the end. I hope this makes sense as a fair rating.
