On my journey to reread the series since I haven’t read the latest installments and wanted to refresh myself on everything. This one was used to develop more background and history of Murderbot, as well as introducing a new bff, more friendly humans that produce emotions, and also some insight into different constructs. It felt more like a bridge for what comes next since it was setting up quite a bit. Still an enjoyable romp.

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!
