I listened to the audio, to which Will Wheaton did a great job narrating.
Anyway. I feel like this took too long for me to get through mainly because I watched the movie when it came out, so I knew the gist of the story and just took my time. Like any movie adaptation, the book was more detailed, had some things that were changed in the movie, but the main stuff was pretty much the same. I actually didn’t like Artemis that much, which is surprising, and to be fair, she didn’t have a significant role, “in-person”(?). And Wade, simping over her was too much for me, but I get it, he was in love.
H is still may fav., followed by Shoto.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. I would probably give this a 3.5
