 I love Murderbot so much. It's so done with all of this bullshit and just wants to consume media in peace, but it keeps having to go save idiot humans from their own bad decisions. Murderbot's strong narrative voice made for a fascinating mood in this book. By all rights, the setting should be space horror - an abandoned space station where something is not quite dead and trying to kill you. But Murderbot's trademark snark and irreverence makes it almost funny. And it worked - it's definitely unique, and as much as I like space horror, I also enjoy Murderbot viewing a space horror setting as nothing more than highly inconvenient. This series so far is ostensibly about Murderbot investigating a conspiracy, but that just seems to be a reason for it to travel around and do other stuff along the way. It's less about answers than about Murderbot's growth. And it's fascinating to see how it has grown even over three books as uncomfortable-pretending-to-be-human Murderbot now has to pretend to be a SecUnit again. This one didn't need to be longer - it was a solid story that didn't feel rushed - but I wish it was longer because I enjoy these books so much.

I really do need to read these books slowly to take in everything that’s happening. There’s a lot of little details that happen so quickly they can be easy to miss (or maybe it’s just me).

But I’m still really liking this series. Same thoughts as the last one; love the worldbuilding and love murderbot.

Another great installment in the Murderbot series! 

This is the third book in the Murderbot series and as with the others, I enjoyed this one a lot. 

In this book, Murderbot is continuing its investigation into an event that happened and the Corporation's involvement in it and as usual, meets a new cast of characters along the way. 

Once again, the writing was fun. We're back to the fun and witty snark of Murderbot, which was less in the previous book. The plot was interesting and we learned some new things about the event that happened. We got a bit of expansion on the world as well, which is always lovely. But once again, the characters are where these books shine. Murderbot is always a delight and his interactions with Miki, a "pet bot" were interesting. I love seeing Murderbot interact with other AI characters. It's always fun and Murderbot is just babey in all the ways. The new human crew in this one was a hit or a miss for me. I didn't love most of them as much as I have in past books, but I don't think we were supposed to. 

I'm also having many emotions about the end of this book. 

Looking forward to reading the next installme
