I really enjoyed that book and the whole “alone in space” vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can’t reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

    Had a hard time with this one and I’m not sure I ever figured out why. Initially I thought it was just a bit uninteresting but now I’m wondering if there’s more there. Not sure he writes his female protagonists all that well (which I can understand given you know, he’s not female).

      To me, it almost read more like a YA book than his others. The stakes were lower, and it was more adventury than sciencey and dire. Definitely made it feel different; not that it’s wrong. The Hobbit is aimed way younger than LOTR, but it’s still good. I do agree that the female protagonist writing felt a little clunky from what I remember.

      This was exactly my experience with Artemis. I had to stop halfway through because I really didn’t like the protagonist and reading her in first person was torturous for me

      Ugh I was severely disappointed tbh. Short, unsatisfying, not nearly as science heavy as his other hits. Ended so abruptly too. Idk I was left unsatisfied
