    I couldn’t finish Artemis though. It was around describing the domes of the lunar colony as looking like a pair of boobies is when I couldn’t go on. Felt like Andy needed to rub one out before sitting down at the keyboard for that one.

    Some authors should just not write protagonists of the opposite sex…

      I didn’t clock her as badly written. He sufficiently hangs the lampshade, with other characters surprised by how forward and open she is about sex. And sex itself is very much not a present part of the plot, though it is part of her character’s backstory.

      But also I’m not a woman, either.

      I loved that book, but not as much as The Martian or Project Hail Mary.

      I got through two chapters of Artemis before I gave up. Project Hail Mary, however, is very good.
