The Martian Contingency by Mary Robinette Kowal

adventurous emotional reflective

4.0

The Martian Contingency was a really solid read! It had a great mix of action, tension, and smart sci-fi concepts that kept me turning the pages. I really liked the characters and the way the story handled the political and survival aspects on Mars—it felt grounded but still exciting. That said, there were a few pacing issues in the middle where things dragged a bit, and I found myself wanting just a little more depth in some of the character dynamics. Still, overall it was a super enjoyable ride and definitely one I’d recommend to fans of space thrillers.
