4.5/5
Such a sad book that feels a little rushed at some points, especially at the end.
Gale sucks

Good book. But I couldn't stand being in Snow's POV. He's repulsive with how he rationalizes the awful stuff he's done. Definitely makes you hate him more when looking at the Hunger Games trilogy with Katniss
Also, justice for Sejanus and Lucy Gray! Idc if it's unlikely, she lives in my book

Stephen King knows how to use descriptive language and unique points of view to really amplify the tension of a book. I really appreciate that he's not afraid to have all of his characters on a level playing field. Even the ones that appear to be main characters are not safe from a grim fate

A great intro to Stephen King, you can't help but feel bad for both Paul and Annie despite their significant flaws

Andy Weir is absolutely brilliant. This book had me hooked from start to finish. The way he makes the science so understandable while keeping the stakes sky-high is mind-blowing. Grace and Rocky's mission is monumental, and you feel every bit of it—the urgency, the ingenuity, and the heart. Rocky is one of the be most unique characters I've ever come across, and the dynamic between him and Grace is pure gold. It's clever, emotional, and so satisfying. Weir's storytelling is next level. Highly recommend! 9/10
