Never a dull moment with Murderbot! This installment in the series provides all that you love from these novellas while keeping things fresh and surprising. The action here is my favorite so far, and I really enjoyed the mystery. And of course, you just gotta love Murderbot!!

I love Murderbot so much. It's so done with all of this bullshit and just wants to consume media in peace, but it keeps having to go save idiot humans from their own bad decisions. Murderbot's strong narrative voice made for a fascinating mood in this book. By all rights, the setting should be space horror - an abandoned space station where something is not quite dead and trying to kill you. But Murderbot's trademark snark and irreverence makes it almost funny. And it worked - it's definitely unique, and as much as I like space horror, I also enjoy Murderbot viewing a space horror setting as nothing more than highly inconvenient. This series so far is ostensibly about Murderbot investigating a conspiracy, but that just seems to be a reason for it to travel around and do other stuff along the way. It's less about answers than about Murderbot's growth. And it's fascinating to see how it has grown even over three books as uncomfortable-pretending-to-be-human Murderbot now has to pretend to be a SecUnit again. This one didn't need to be longer - it was a solid story that didn't feel rushed - but I wish it was longer because I enjoy these books so much.

I really do need to read these books slowly to take in everything that’s happening. There’s a lot of little details that happen so quickly they can be easy to miss (or maybe it’s just me).

But I’m still really liking this series. Same thoughts as the last one; love the worldbuilding and love murderbot.
