I loved this book! I read it all on one day, which is saying something because I don’t typically read for hours on end. It definitely felt similar to Becky Chambers’ stuff (which I also love). It was a great mix of funny and serious, with an interesting perspective from a socially awkward Murderbot who doesn’t like people. This novella was well written with a strong voice and strong plot, and I can’t wait for more!

All Systems Red was an absolutely delightful sci-fi novella. Murderbot is an incredibly funny narrator, and the escapades on the planet are quite fun to read about.

My only complaint is that I found the combat to be a little lacking, but the interpersonal interactions were stellar. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series! 4 stars.

 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.
