It's an interesting though experiment on the idea of creating an inclusive global community that must still deal with earthly cultural conflict. The story was... meh. It was like taking common story themes mostly for the excuse of world building. Admittedly, the colony dynamics and the tech gave plenty to think about but I was already looking forward to my next read halfway through. Jasmine is cool, but cool like so many of the Sci-Fi channel heroes.

Like The Martian, this has all kinds of problem solving in space. Unlike The Martian, it had more characters and dialogue. Weir definitely needs practice writing these last two things. I still really enjoyed a science based heist in space. I also enjoyed the female Saudi main character, although she was described clumsily on several occasions.
