This was a very cute sci-fi and I'm excited to see the world expand/get to learn more about murderbot in the next books (in terms of the actual story, it's very impressive that such a self contained story was written in less than 150 pages)

Really enjoyed this! I liked seeing Murderbot's POV as a sentient robot, how they deal with humans/feel about humanity looking at them, etc, as well as the mystery as to what was going on in terms of the company/who was trying to kill the team!
Will definitely be continuing on with the series!
