I feel like my review for every one of these could just be “MURDERBOT!!!!!” with lots of flailing hands, but that’s not very effective or satisfying. :)

I’m pretty invested in murderbot. I’m even brainstorming what they look like.

Sad about Micky, I like when they make actual friends.

For the same reason I miss ART. I’m gonna keep calling murderbot ‘they’, because ‘it’ seems to impersonal. I had thought the series would be a number of completely separate adventures, but I love that there is a continuous storyline.

I enjoyed this, and it continues to be easy to immerse myself in the world. However, given that, plot-wise, this was another accidentally acquiring “human clients” and having to save them situation, is the rest of the series going to be formulaic?
