 Murderbot is one of my new favorite characters now. I LOVED it, but felt it should have been longer. Felt character’s individual moment to shine, story moments, and build up to moments should have been more to them. Absolutely will be continuing the series.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one! I thought it would either be too frothy or too serious, and instead I got a bitingly compelling perspective from a rebellious, introverted, company-owned cyber-person working security on contract for a bunch of scientists on a new planet.

It's such a short read, too--no wasted words or moments, which I love.

My only complaints were a few moments I wasn't really sure what SecUnit was talking about in setting the scene--moments where there weren't quite enough words. But they didn't impact the flow of the story or my enjoyment of the characters.

I loved this book/series so much I'm reading it again just weeks after finishing. I was at first disappointed by how short it was, but once I discovered I can borrow them from the library, that was a non-issue. I love Murderbot!

Is it bad to relate to a sassy, pessimistic killer android with social anxiety who'd rather watch TV than admit it's starting to care about humans?

Because that's... That's me.

Wow this was really, really good. The narrator's personality got me invested super quickly and the suspense kept me hooked.
