WOW I LOVED THIS! one of my goals this year is to venture outside of my comfort in the romance genre and only reading books that have a romance plot/subplot, and this was my first of the year. this series came highly recommended by two of my online friends, and they did not miss!! i truly loved this and immediately went and put the rest of the series on hold at my library. the narrator did such a great job & i really like being in murderbot's head. i'm looking forward to continuing this series & seeing where murderbot goes from here.

I can see why this series is so well-loved! I listened to the audiobook and would recommend it for anyone who can. The snark and dry delivery of the murderbot lines really helped pull me into the story and who this character is and how they think.

Of characters close to my heart, SecUnit might be top of the list. It meant a lot to me to see it having the experiences it has through the series, and to see how other people coexist with it and with needs that they don't always understand. I don't always like unreliable narrators but SecUnit's denial is tenuous enough that I mostly just wanted it to be okay.
