\"Artemis<\/a>Full of the same lovable quick wit and humour as The Martian<\/em><\/a>, Artemis<\/em><\/a> is another gripping read from bestselling author, Andy Weir.<\/p>\n

Artemis<\/em> follows Jazz, a resident of the moon. Unless you\u2019re a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire, making a living on the moon can be tough, and Jazz gets by through smuggling the occasional bit of contraband from Earth. Soon, Jazz is asked to commit the perfect crime for a reward too lucrative to turn down, and alas, a web of conspiracies and secrets are unveiled.<\/p>\n

Part of what makes this book so enthralling is its characters. Weir has a talent of writing characters that are smart, funny and likeable, but also incredibly quirky and flawed. I really loved Jazz, and found myself laughing at her dialogue and internal monologue quite frequently throughout the book.<\/p>\n

The setting of Weir\u2019s books also make them a standout in my eyes. The community he created on the moon was well developed and fascinating, and definitely added to the adventure and anticipation that are a feature of his writing.<\/p>\n

How does this book compare to Weir\u2019s previous novel? The Martian<\/em> is a fascinating and unputdownable sci-fi novel set in space that grips you from the very first sentence (which unfortunately cannot be repeated here!). Artemis<\/em>, on the other hand, follows a very different narrative. It\u2019s a heist story set on the moon, making the comparisons between both books difficult. What I will say is that Artemis<\/em> is an entertaining and strong sophomore novel, and definitely worth reading. I loved it, and cannot wait for further books by this author!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
