Bradley Bravard reviewed Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson (Mars (2), #2)
Fascinating Book
5 stars
As the middle book of a trilogy, Green Mars is bound to have less "shock value" than Red Mars. Still, the progression of original characters and the new characters is quite interesting. The issues of self-governance and representation that fueled the U.S. revolution are presented in a very believable fashion, as is the evolution of events on earth, which is sadly relevant here in the early 21st century. Some call it slow, but I appreciate the deliberate pacing of Green Mars. Overall a fascinating book.
