Murderbot’s most human adventure yet. Always has me on the edge of my seat and is never long enough. I think this is the last book and I’m very sad about it but it feels like a good end to the story.

Immaculate sci-fi adventure, as usual!

On the surface, this series is sarcastic and fun. But it has undercurrents of addressing important social issues like colonisation, PSTD, corporate greed, and the rights of sentient beings.

Every single book in this series so far has been immensely enjoyable and I’ve come to adore Murderbot and their companions.

I implore everyone to give this series a try. You won’t be disappointed!

I think this is my last I’ll read. When 8 comes out, I’ll pass. Story progresses too slowly overall when you consider where we started with the first book. Character development feels stilted too.

I love Murderbot and ART so much! I hope Wells never stops writing about them.

PHENOMENAL!!!! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. Everyone has been through so much and they are doing such a good job and I love them. The team keeps trying to save strangers from contract slavery and help people even though they are miserable, injured assholes (Murderbot and ART are at least some of the time). I love how Murderbot is not an objective observer sometimes (it thinks there is something wrong with Three for preferring educational modules over fiction).

Oh, Murderbot, how I love each and every installment of your story. I’ve missed you, literary friend.

I particularly love the way that Wells has a slow burn to a big reveal around Murderbot (and other SecUnits’) mental/psychological state. Just fantastic.

Murderbot continues to be great, I love the world, I love the narration style and I love ART. Murderbot also continues to be maybe concernly relatable.
