A review by daytonm
Blue Mars, by Kim Stanley Robinson
4.0
Overall not as strong as Red Mars or Green Mars--it lagged a bit in the middle, and I didn't love every character choice--but when it soars, it soars. At its most compelling, I think, exploring tensions between green and red, the terraformed (or areoformed) young biosphere and primal Mars. What a trilogy!
As a whole the three books get a robust five stars, and I'm eager to read more of Robinson's books. Philosophically challenging, fascinating characters, exciting politics, and there's just something about Mars!
