I do like these books, but I think the plot could be a bit stronger and less repetitive, it's very formulaic so far but still funny

I freaking love Murderbot. This installment was more compelling than the last and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I also like the overarching storyline throughout these novellas. I loved Miki!! And for some reason the humor in this one just hit different and I was cackling.

Okay. This is probably the funniest installation so far?? I mean the plot is complex, just like with the first two books in the series. But idk, something about Murderbot being annoyed by humans and feelings and thinking like an introvert feels so funny and relatable at the same time 😭

Apparently Martha Wells loves her formula and after the third time it got so tired I just skimmed. 

Murderbot reluctantly mother gooses some silly but vulnerable humans, Murderbot begrudgingly protects them, fight scene fight scene fight scene, Murderbot abandons the new group of humans they have to admire and have defection for, runs away.

Not to have spoilers but the characterization for MB was weird too.

Loved the first two books but this one was so dry and predictable I’m going to give up on the series

That was one [] of a ride. I love the parallel between the relationship between murderbot and Dr. Mensah and the relationship between Miki and Abene as well as how that contributes to murderbot's decision at the end. The book kept me hooked the whole way through and though I was a little confused at some parts I think it's due to how I was opting not to reread parts for clarification so I could read faster lol. Teared up at the ending. This was such a meaningful part of the murderbot diaries and has cemented the fact that my favourite part of this series is the conncections between characters.
