Yes! I loved the way Mars was really the main character.
So many great moments. "I'm Nadia Cherneshevsky, and I built this town." The mass exodus at the end of book 1. The moment when elder Sax and Maya, metering the colors of sky at sunset, get a brief glimpse of Earth Blue.
I was impressed by the way Robinson leaves Hiroko as Schrodinger's messiah and doesn't try to resolve her story - nobody quite sees her alive (probably) but nobody finds a body either.
If it's available, do read The Martians, his collection of short stories. I like the way the fourth-generation Martians react when Mars starts getting cold again.
