Maybe it had more to do with the execution than with the ingredients. On the other hand.I'm not sure if it was because I recognised a few tropes that I was left wanting more. Maybe not exactly fresh, you know, but as a combination of different themes, it works. Also, there are conspiracies going on in both timelines, and a bunch of diverse characters both in the sexuality spectrum (lesbian, demi, ace) and the ethnicity one. Here he befriends a privileged, but questioning girl (Nadin), and they set on a journey to save Mars' native people (and possibly, to send Isaak home). The premise is interesting enough - Mars became an Earth colony, though I'm not sure how it could be accomplished a teen guy (Isaak) searching for the answer to his father's disappearance finds more than he bargained for, and gets whisked to a past where the planet is on the verge of dying, with all its original inhabitants. And I did like it.but less than I expected. Fourth World technically had all the ingredients for my kind of story.
