I adored it. Lowkey enby representation? Lovely, polyamory and people living who they want to love? I love that.

I love Eve/Murderbot, as a character so darn much. And the book was just oddly comforting. Their thoughts are so relatable, being super awkward and just not knowing how to human sometimes.

Escaping into media? ME. Just... *chefs kiss*

A funny, action-packed follow-up to the first Murderbot story! Martha Wells’ Murderbot world is at once richly built yet not too bogged down in backstory — the titular character continues to rightly remain front and center. I can’t wait  to read the next one!
