 I personally think that this should have come before Network Effect. In the timeline, it seems like it does. You get so much character development in the novel before this that it feels weird because it seems like Murderbot has taken a step back in their character development. I felt like this novella was lacking in what the novel gave us and what it had set up. Now I am not saying that the author needs to only write novels but I think they laid a lot of good groundwork and set up a lot of great things in Network Effect that should have been carried on to this one and it was not. I was very disappointed in this part and hope she moves forward in the timeline. I still need more Murderbot in my life.
