I loved this book! I read it all on one day, which is saying something because I don’t typically read for hours on end. It definitely felt similar to Becky Chambers’ stuff (which I also love). It was a great mix of funny and serious, with an interesting perspective from a socially awkward Murderbot who doesn’t like people. This novella was well written with a strong voice and strong plot, and I can’t wait for more!

A wonderfully adventurous, funny book from the perspective of a security robot that just wants to watch its TV shows and be left alone (relatable). I laughed out loud numerous times as it begrudgingly needed to help and save the humans it's contractually obligated to protect, and how it eventually grew to like some of the humans- and even have a favorite!

Definitely looking forward to more Murderbot diaries!

If you liked Gideon The Ninth but found it too gory, and liked A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet but found it too wholesome, this would be a good book for you. I read it in one days worth of bus commutes and missed all three of my transfers because i was so engrossed in it.
