Wow, talk about plot twists! There were some fantastic ones in this story. I loved the way they were revealed to both the characters and the audience simultaneously. It was interesting to figure out what was happening at the same time that Nina was also putting the pieces together about what must have really happened generations ago when her ancestors lost touch with the outside world.

I would have liked to be introduced to a few more of Nina’s fellow colonists. While there wouldn’t have been enough space to introduce all twenty-four of them, their community was small enough that I think more of them could have made an appearance in this tale before Nina began to discover clues about why all of their ancestors had been stranded in the first place.

The ending made me wish for a sequel. As satisfied as I was by all of the answers that the main character found, I also desperately wanted to know what would happen to her and her community next. She had so many decisions to make after the end of the final scene. I wished I could see her reaction to everything that had happened as well as everything that was about to happen to her next.

We Have Always Lived on Mars was the sort of book I’d recommend to brand new and longterm fans of this genre alike. It had something for everyone.
