I enjoyed this second peak into Murderbot's life.  It was interesting watching it continue to wrestle with what it means to be human and now what it means to have autonomy.  I absolutely love ART and want to introduce it to Farscape, even if the number of episodes it could tolerate would be very small.  A quick read to get the blood flowing to start of the year - like a nice jog, but in book form. 4 stars.

mindboggling amazing. i'm really liking the adventure sorta plot this series has, as we go with murderbot through the universe. this one was definitely a good one!! i liked the diverse SCs and getting to see murderbot interact more with those around it, especially ARF (i think that was the name it gave the ship). i can't wait to read the next one!

Better than the first. The premise isn't exactly the same but it's the same in that it's a snippet into the character or Murderbot with a different cohesive plot and wraps up nicely. It really ends on a heart warming note which I didn't expect.

ART is a wonderful addition, if for no other reason than adding another facet that we can relate to Murderbot. Because we have all had to deal with an ART in our life.

Definitely a step up from the first installment. The foreshadowing is a little too transparent but it was endearing.
