Whooo boy, this was just so much fun to read! I loved Murderbot and ART’s interactions. They had this really great antagonistic friendship that was almost sibling-like in someways. I just loved them and I would kill to have them back together for another book.
Murderbot is somehow the most relatable character ever?? It’s anxious, socially awkward, touch averse, and obsessed with its comfort show. ART played the theme song from Sanctuary Moon to help calm Murderbot down after a panic attack. And it was a really sweet moment between them. I also found it sweet that Murderbot got so attached to the crew that hired it as a security consultant. Even when it didn’t want to. But also trying to dig into its past? Oh man. That’s gonna be a whole other can of worms, isn’t it? I’m just so excited to continue with this series! Artificial Condition is getting a solid five stars.

Wells is so good at making me feel attached to such loveable characters. This was the perfect book to read in between my horror binge. Funny and adventurou while giving me adrenaline rushes whenever a character was in trouble.
I still have occasional problems keeping up with the new sci-fi terms, but it's not too difficult. It only required me to do some re-reading.
Also, this is my first time seeing neopronouns used in published media. And I adore seeing Wells continue representing adorable polyamorous relationships.
