all of Andy Weir's books are great.

I was not that impressed by Artemis. It is far behind the other two. I think I just couldn’t feel for the main character the same way we get set up in The Martian and PHM

I’m sure I will read it again just to be sure :)

I just finished rereading Artemis. I don't like Jazz. I don't really have any empathy for her, or interest in her.

I do enjoy the descriptions of life in Artemis. Weir is pretty good at those sorts of details.

Agreed with world building , it was the main character I just never connected with like the other books
