Really enjoyed this! I liked seeing Murderbot's POV as a sentient robot, how they deal with humans/feel about humanity looking at them, etc, as well as the mystery as to what was going on in terms of the company/who was trying to kill the team!
Will definitely be continuing on with the series!

'I don't know what I want. I said that at some point, I think. But it isn't that, it's that I don't want anyone to tell me what I want, or to make decisions for me." - Murderbot, 149

Such a great sci-fi nugget to find! I loved getting to know Murderbot as a character. (They're honestly so relatable; I too would like to just sit in my room, isolate myself from people's physical presence, and devour content.) World-building unfurls just enough to place you on this space survey mission without dumping a lot of unnecessary, rigid jargon on you. Next to Murderbot, my favorite character was probably Dr. Mensah. I'm hoping she'll make a reappearance later on in the series; however, after the ending I'm uncertain. One can hope. Sci-fi fans please read if you haven't already.
