I love Murderbot!! It was very fun to pick up basically immediately where we left off, and there was a lot more to mine from this setting and scenario than I thought possible. Oh Murderbot, you are so distressed by the fact that everyone wants to be your friend.

I have enjoyed this whole series this far, should I have reacquainted myself with the last 6 books before reading this one? Probably. But as always I enjoyed the dry humor and perilous adventures. This is such a fun series to think further about what it means to be a human.

God I really liked this. It was interesting because I read the whole rest of the Murderbot series all in a week or two over a year ago, so at first it was a bit difficult for me to remember things. I kind of wish I'd reread them all before reading this one. But in the end I was able to catch up and not feel like I was missing anything (and I'm going to reread the whole series with my partner at some point anyway so if I did miss anything I'll get it when I reread this).

Anyway, this was excellent, just like the rest of the series. Murderbot is the best and it's so relatable as always. The world is fascinating and I love learning more about the characters. I can't wait to get more Murderbot in the future.

I love the murderbot series and this follows directly from the events of network effect and carries on the enthralling events. Could barely put it down.
