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.
