The primary protagonist. In the climatic third act of the book I was so annoyed by her that I really didn’t care or not if she won over the antagonist. Both were awful people and there was no winner for the reader regardless of who actually “won”. I could forgive the protagonist being as horrible as she was at the beginning if it was part of a redemption arc, but she was just as awful at the end of the story as she was at the beginning without any notable character growth. The extreme situations she was in could have even been a good catalyst, but nope, she was just as unlikable at the end as at the beginning.
I bought the book instead of getting it from the library on the faith I had in Weir from The Martian. It was a disappointing purchase. I haven’t made the mistake of buying or reading any of his other books afterward.
