It’s decent, but I liked it least out of Wier’s books. He seems to only have 1 archetype for his main character. It works really well in the Martian, and project hail Mary, where the main character is a highly competent male. It’s a bit jarring when applied to a teenage girl however.
Artemis is set in a colony on the Moon. Cool science and economy about running the colony, but writing was meh (if I have to read “head full of steam” for the third time…) and MC swears a lot in a juvenile and cringe way.
It’s more or less about heist on the moon that goes predictably sideways in weird ways. I’ve noticed that his foreshadowing is a little too blunt though.
I had heard of the Martian but not Artemis, what is it like?

Did you like Hail Mary
Yes
It’s probably his most “sci-fi” work. It’s the farthest in the future, and is kind of a crime / political thriller set in the only city on the moon.
