I finished the Saving Mars books right before seeing Ant-Man tonight, and the series concluded with a bang. I'll put it this way: if I'd read the books six months ago, I would have nominated the series for a Best Novel Hugo without hesitation. As it stands, this is now my "Your teen likes SF? Give them THIS." recommendation. Excellent mix of science, romance, adventure, heroism... pretty much everything I want from a YA series, including a definite end.
HIGHLY recommended.
Oh: Ant-Man was decent, but I thought it relied too much on the Iron Man plot structure to really shine.
