This was nice and fun. I just didn't find the plot particularly exciting or gripping. The other characters were bland and I didn't feel much for them. The concept of sentient bots, planetary explorations and corporate political entities controlling space travels were interesting though hardly original.
What I enjoyed a lot were Murderbot's snarky, pessimistic, and deadpan commentaries on itself, its human clients and the stupid company it belonged.
Murderbot is loveable and endearing enough for me to want to know more of its adventures/developments so I'll be continuing the series.

The plot was okay, but readers miss out on experiencing the climax and I finished the book feeling confused about what the plan of the Evil Team was and what actually happened. I know it is a series so those questions I have are likely answered later, I just get the feeling the only reason the reader doesn't know what happened is because Murderbot didn't care enough to pay attention.
I definitely relate to Murderbot, yet I didn't fall in love with them like so many other readers have. The writing style just doesn't work for me so I don't think I will be continuing this series.
