Still as enjoyable and weirdly touching. Maybe a little under the two previous books, I didn't read it as fast, but it might be on my life rather than on the book. Can't wait to pick the next novellas !

As ever, I love Murderbot, but this was my least favourite so far. It's the first time I've struggled to follow what is going on with the humans and what Murderbot is meant to be doing - and I just didn't really get emotionally invested in Miki at all. Having said that, I do really enjoy looking at the world-building of the bots in regards to their roles in society and how they're perceived/their functions.

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH MURDERBOT!!! It’s such a sarcastic, brilliant, enigmatic fucker—and yet it is the engine of this series! I can’t even imagine perceiving this universe through the eyes of the humans, solely through bot-eyes.
Speaking of humans: those in this particular volume I found rather dull. They were forgettable, their conflict a bit overwrought, and their reliance on Murderbot a bit fraught.
But see, this is the genius of these books. Because I’m not certain whether I’m perceiving these humans and their circumstances this way due to MY perception or Murderbot’s.
Rude. Just fuckin—rude.
Heartily anticipate volume four!! (AND THEN FULL LENGTH NOVELS, BABY!)
