3 stars
3.5* A good yarn, very engaging, but a bit a clunky and contrived.

Bringing to life Weir's brash, whip-smart protagonist is actress Rosario Dawson (Marvel's The Defenders, Sin City, Death Proof). With the breathless immediacy of one realizing they're one cracked helmet visor away from oblivion, Dawson deftly captures Jazz's first-person perspective – all while delivering sarcastic Weir-ian one-liners and cracking wise in the face of death. And with a cast of diverse characters from all walks of life calling Artemis home, Dawson tonally somersaults to voice Kenyan prime ministers, Ukrainian scientists, and Saudi welders. It's a performance that transports listeners right alongside Jazz, matching her step for step on every lunar inch of her pulse-pounding journey.

Underholdende, men tynd som ... underholdning. Det er fint og hurtigt overstået.

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.
