I had an emotion.

Needing to be alone to process emotions is such a realistic characteristic.

I found it a little repetitive at some points with other Murderbot plots and found myself skimming over some details. But once the plot got going (about 1/3 of the way through), I was just as hooked as ever

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

It understand why Murderbot is so resistant to making friends, but it's funny every single time it mistakes kindness for hostility. It such an extreme jump. I'll just file Miki away with Lovelace (Wayfarers) as 'AI breaks my heart, thanks' because it can probably be rebuilt but it won't be the same Miki. Also, human security who like their jobs too much are the worst, ACAB.
