Idk how but it keeps managing to make the most trivial of conflicts and disagreements interesting even though the characterization is very similar among the spread of colonists as opposed to unique and emotional. Maybe it’s just that I’m a nerd for Mars and the psychological effects of colonizing it. The arguments about whether native life would be disrupted by terraformation are particularly interesting.

This 160-page long chapter was pretty incredible, reminded me of Miller’s arc in The Expanse. John using his status as the first man on mars to aid in his investigation and go where a normal detective couldn’t, until the walls begin to close in on him. Utilizing the Martian geography we get to explore the gradually settled planet in a new, quietly tense way.

Writing style really hammers home all the little details that go into normal living on a space station or on a different planet. Interesting, but damn it’s a lot.
