This is a great follow up to All Systems Red. It was still incredible and still amazing as the story progresses, as Murderbot figures out who he wants to be while learning how to have emotions and feelings and not be socially awkward around humans. 

These are such quick reads but they are light, funny, and enjoyable. This series is a must read.

 Still fun, though not as packed as the first novella in the series. I liked that murderbot is learning to open up even more and questioning more of his background and humanity. However, there seems to be a pattern in the story, and if it persists throughout the rest of the series, it might become boring.

I am starting to love reading about robots 🤖💓 they are like 

toddlers trying to figure out how humans work while also being impossibly intelligent and physically capable of mass destruction!! ☺️how can you not love them
