3.5* A good yarn, very engaging, but a bit a clunky and contrived.
Underholdende, men tynd som ... underholdning. Det er fint og hurtigt overstået.
Solid story.
I had flashes back to Places in the Darkness with this one, there was a lot of the lawless frontier going on in both. Inevitably as with [b:Ready Player one|9969571|Ready Player One|Ernest Cline|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1500930947s/9969571.jpg|14863741] and his next book Armada, people will compare this to [b:The Martian|18007564|The Martian|Andy Weir|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1413706054s/18007564.jpg|21825181]. There are similarities, but I think people always go into these things expecting too much. Lightning rarely strikes twice.
So without overly looking at Mars for a comparison I really got into this. Authentically narrated from a female perspective as best I can judge, this was fun, not too hard on the brain and generally exciting in all the right spots. go Andy, a solid entry, even without Mark's shoulders to launch from.
