5.0

I love these books!! I really love the dry humour, and how the moments of action are balanced out with Murderbot's thoughts and exploration of personhood. I love how Murderbot keeps (only somewhat reluctantly) adopting the various humans that need its help, soon enough it'll have an entire army of human friends

I also particularly enjoyed the friendship between Murderbot and ART - I'm really hoping that ART shows up again in future books! Also the narration by Kevin R. Free continues to be top tier

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.

This one was quite funny and I loved seeing the murderbot and ART interact. I'm also excited to see how the plot behind the murderbots's rogueness unfolds
