My working theory is that each Murderbot is going to focus on a different human emotion more than others and this one is about the power of friendship. The beginning didn't start as punchy as the previous two but I liked the ending more since it has more of a gut punch with higher stakes happening compared to the others. Wells again does a good job of containing a complete stand alone story in a novella format but furthers development of Murderbot.

Really loving this series so far. Murderbot is so wonderfully written, it's great watching them develop over the books and see how they're learning more about themselves and what they want to do with their free-will.

Really liked the interaction between Murderbot and another robot character who has had a very different life experience than them. 
Like that the books are connecting and loved what the ending of this one is foreshadowing.

The only thing I found with this book in the series that I didn't with the others is that I had a harder time visualizing what was happening/ where the characters were. But also my mind's eye is not super strong.
I couldn't quite picture what was happening on the planet they were on, so it took me out of the action scenes a bit.


Love that murderbot has given themselves a name but it's private. Very sad ending but I accidentally spoiled it for myself, don't look up anything on the wiki 😔
