Welcome to Litsy!

Artemis by Andy Weir. A special edition from The Broken Binding. 💜

This is a re-read/listen so I can finish off the trilogy. Enjoyable and surprisingly violent.

After an attempt to kidnap a student at Miles Flint's daughter's school, the principal asks him to find out who the would-be kidnappers were and to beef up the security system at the school.

For a novella, this story keeps the reader on their toes with shifting sympathies all the way through.

Aside from some questionable takes it was a really fun and quick read. Andy Weir is so funny and writes diversity really well, there wasn't a lot of character development but it still felt like the MC changed with what was thrown at her.

On his return to the Moon after a vacation, Miles Flint receives a message from his mentor begging for help. When he arrives at her apartment he finds she has been murdered and he is one of the main suspects.

Whenever I put this down I felt no strong urge to pick it up again. The Bixians were not present enough to be interesting aliens and without them it was a fairly run-of-the-mill mystery.

I will admit- i‘m overwhelmed by astrology, terms, ideas. one thing i liked most about this book was the big focus on New Moon- for beginnings and Full moon for release. I am soothed by cycles and this part did not feel overwhelming with positions and dates and times etc…. I think I would like a copy one day for myself. #travelingstars24
