love is stored in the

‘Very few people get a chance to quantify how much their father loves them. But I did. The job should have taken forty-five minutes, but Dad spent three and a half hours on it. My father loves me 366 percent more than he loves anything else.

Good to know.’

i love that andy weir never kills his protagonists. it would be so easy to. at so many points. by all means they Should be dead. mark gets stranded on mars and the planet works against him at every turn. jazz's suit fails on the surface of the moon and she feels herself begin to die. ryland is sent on a suicide mission then gives up his chance at return for his friend. they should all have died. multiple times in some cases. but they don't!!! because weir isn't writing tragedies, he's writing stories of hope and humanity. they survive even when it should be impossible for them to because of connection. simple as that.

disgusting how few artemis fans there are. put some goddamn respect on my girl jazz's name !!

Thinking about how the Andy Weir Space Trilogy all end in basically the same place they started. The problematic status quo is now the soft landing.

Watney is isolated and relying on the help of others to survive. At the end of the book, he is isolated at home and relying on the help of delivery people to get groceries and maintain his health.

Jazz Bashara is broke and in debt to her father. Thee crimes, a heroic rescue, a self sacrifice, and a million credits later, and she's broke from fines and in debt to her friend.

Ryland Grace is an asocial teacher with exactly 1 friend. Two saved worlds later, and he's a teacher on a new planet with exactly 1 friend.

And that's ok. You don't need to move up or down to change.

Just thinking about it a lot

Jazz Bashara Near Her Capsule by Anna Shtorf

Artemis Review

Artemis by Andy Weir is a 305 page Adult Science Fiction Stand-Alone novel.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.

I rate this book 4.5/5 stars.

I flew through this book, it was fast paced with good well developed characters, who grow throughout the story. I like the plot as well, and in some ways it’s really out there and feels unrealistic, but at other times it seems very much the same as other stories when comparing two elements, which I really like. The humour of Andy Weir’s characters is something I really like, as they make bleak situation a little more bearable, but in this it felt a little forced and cringe at times. The kiss in the last chapter is total BS and has no right to be there since there is no foreshadowing for it in the entire book. I’ve read 3 Andy Weir books and every climax seems to be the same; Either the MC sacrifices themselves for the betterment of the group, or all will be well for everyone. However there is no point in the book where you can tell which ending it’s going to be.

If I get the opportunity I will pick up a physical copy of this book.

Do you have any questions? Or maybe some recommendations? Send me an ask here on Tumblr or tweet me.  If you wish to support me, you can buy me a coffee! Or even buy my debut fantasy novel, The Mending Road.

Well, I'm upset...you know me, I'm a fan of Andy Weir books. The first book I read was Project Heil Mary. I fell in love with that book. Then, I quickly bought The Martian and read it as well, and as it should happen, I searched for the book "Artemis" to buy and read it, after that I finished the martian book, I was very excited, and I read those lines with enthusiasm until I was shocked that the heroine,Jazz Bashara, is Saudi…Just like me.

that was the last thing I expected. Then the second shock was that her father was Muslim... like me too.

Well, there is no problem here, but the problem lies after I delved deeper into the book, what did Weir think about when he opened the topic of religions? Do you remember when Jazz visited her father and asked him about his strange invention, whatever its name, that was able to determined the location of the qibla so that he could pray. Why did you have to add cheap, failed comedy lines like:

“Do you think you can impress Muhammad in this way?”

truly ? Was he forced to add that nonsense?

Or was he forced to write "Uff!" When she realized that her father had fixed two hooks on the wall to hang prayer rugs?

What would happen if your father did that? I am not exaggerating.

I do not want my religion to be affected in this way.

This made me disgusted. No matter how her father responded to her, even if he spoke to her in a rude manner, Jazz remains the main character of the book, and all readers subconsciously lean towards the main character, no matter how evil or good she is.

I was shocked by the amount of rumors Andy was talking about Saudi Arabia as well. It made me close the book that night and go to sleep feeling disgusted.

Also, the book talks all the time about sex, dating and fornication,Cmon…not a single page is devoid of this disgusting topic... Don't you think that mentioning this topic once or twice is enough?

Every time Jaz and Kelvin, who were young boys no more than ten years old, talked to each other through messages, it had to include sex and dating, yuck.

I lost my passion for that book and threw it on my desk, not thinking I would ever open it again.

I also lost my love for Andy and his books. His constant talk about Saudi Arabia and the religion of Islam is annoying. Why doesn’t he respect these topics? Is it because he was an almost uncommon writer that he thought that no Arab would read that bad book? I am very surprised

I did not finish the book and I will never finish it as long as the writer thinks in this disgusting way.

I mean, I think I finally have enough time to finish TTOU and Artemis and find out why Dandelion/Jaskier/PUF#1 are so important to me, because I think I might be Loretta Sanchez and not Jazz Bashara or Julian Bashir, but I got your letter T and I think there's a 🐝 around here somewhere and if I can just put the puzzle pieces back together in some semblance of order from chaos from order, I can stop droning on and just be a normal hunny bee instead of such an eyesore of an Eeyore.

Does anyone know where my case is? It's a pink Fairphone case with a pop socket on it. My sister's looks very similar but it has a purple eye sticker on it.

I'm not a green-eyed monster but I think I'm done being the villain in my own history. It was already Thursday, but I have some good news about the periodic nature of time in a Klein Bottle Universe, and it's only been two weeks since my partners looked at me but I couldn't stop thinking about other people's children, which is why I'm Auntie-Saurus the Living Fossil, Kassandra of Atlantis and the Inquisition, Nanny Ogg and Tiffany Aching but not Eimear D, not yet. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe Thursday. Probably Tuesday if I'm reading the signs right, but my tarot is still at home so I'm having to make do (not dew, I can't control the weather and if I could I would know better than to try - same with time travel, so it's a good thing I'm already in the timeline where nobody will ever be dumb enough to invent time travel 🧳 (happy birthday to me, thanks Fr. A and P_F). You really should just keep moving backwards through time at a rate of 1 second per second like God always intended; but if you must time travel, please make sure to send a minimum of three people who all love each other more than anyone else in the world, because my minyans are any three who are all agape together, but other people have different rules. You need a prophet with at least three eyes so that one can keep watch while the others rest.

you know ttou got you when you see the acronym tlou and first thought is someone typoed ttou, second thought is figuring it out like time lost orbit unknown??? third thought is remembering the last of us exists

It's two parents and a bunch of kids, not just one soul.

Andy Weir wrote Genesis (The Martian), the New Testament (Project Hail Mary), and the Heist of Omelas (Andromeda - I'm not Jazz Bashara, I only turn up quite late in the book).

since I technically killed Jesus and we got together after He came back from the dead and He was fully aware of the fact that I killed Him does that make our relationship toxic yuri

interesting how andy weir tried to give artemis a lot of diversity and went with "sanchez" and "alvarez" for brazilian names
