 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.

This review is written after a re-read.  The plan is to go through all the series as a refresher for the most recent book, Fugitive Telemetry.

I still love it.  This is definitely one of my comfort read series.  Yes, it is short and fast paced so it flies by very quickly but it is so compelling and relatable.

Originally when I read the Murderbot Diaries it was around the time I read the Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie (both have some political intrigue plots as well if that's your jam) and this is where I think my enjoyment for overwhelmed/awkward/antisocial AI characters really bloomed.  There's also some found family vibes which I adore.

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