Other characters did feel authentic, as did the logic of the city structure, it's businesses and economy, even it's justice system (and the dire penalty of being exiled for serious crime). Jazz's own thought processes are incomprehensible to me as well. Character dialogue, particularly anything romantic feels awkward, not in a good sculpting an atmosphere kind of way, but in a way that reads, this has nothing to do with the plot and no one would say that. The best parts of the book are where Andy is talking technical, it feels natural and flows really well. There's no transwarp beaming, it's all solid science and thus while a fantastical concept, is grounded in reality. Other than his dry humour, one thing I love about Andy Weir's writing is how logical the science behind it is. If he'd used a male protagonist, I think it would have been a much better book. Nothing about her voice read as female to me. This is written in first person, and I didn't realise that Jazz was supposed to be a girl until another character mentioned it. But, I really didn't like the main character.
Sorry Andy! I think he's a good writer, with good ideas and he's carving out a new genre of science fiction, which is more like science future, all the logic is there we just don't have the technology yet. I was really excited when there was a new Andy Weir book, but I'm sorry to say that, for me, it didn't live up to the first book. It was such an original book, interesting, clever and very, very funny. I'd like to start by saying that I was a huge fan of The Martian. What Jazz doesn't know is all the facts behind what she is being asked to do. When one of Jazz's regular clients wants her to step up from petty criminal to major criminal for a handsome reward, it is just too tempting to refuse. However, Jazz dreams above all else of being rich and to this end, she has set up a side business of illegal smuggling activity. Jazz lives in the low end of town, sleeping on a bunk, using a shared bathroom, which is all she can afford through her job as a porter. In fact, the phrase most often used to describe Jazz is a waste of talent. She came to Artemis with her father aged six, it's the only place she's ever known but she wouldn't say she's flourishing. A powerhouse for the rich and a once in a lifetime trip for earth tourists, and also a place a small community of citizens call home. Welcome to Artemis, the first city on the moon.
