I found it an enjoyable read and it was good to revisit this setting. I know the book had mixed reception and is nowhere near as good as The Martian of PHM but I enjoyed the book.

Reading Artemis at the moment, it's not a page turner for me. I have to force myself to pick it up. Read PHM in two days.

Loved PHM and was excited to see his other books but might skip Artemis from the comments I've read.

I have finished it now. The second half was better. But still not my taste. The ending was not great but alright.

I've read Artemis so perhaps I'll give this a look. I actually didn't like Artemis very much mainly because the main characters angsty attitude got a bit annoying. The world building and tech was interesting though so if there was another story in the same setting I'm sure I could find it enjoyable.

Ooo this is neat. Artemis is such a good story. I've listened to it a few times now.

Thanks for sharing, that was a great read. Artemis was meh for several reasons, but it still features great world building and it's great to see it used at this level of quality.
