"Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself--and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first" -- summary from author's web page.

Review of 'Artemis' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

Extremely disappointed. The story is predictable and lacks depth. The characters are one dimentional, stereotypical, boring people. The main character Jazz is plain annoying know-it-all who fucks everything up and gets away with it unscathed. She is supposedly a genious but her actions are so fucking stupid and selfish that I actually felt bad that the minor characters were even acquainted with her. God I hated this book. Everything about it. Such a disappointment after The Martian.
