YESSSS MORE ART! I still really enjoyed this book, but it was a bit of a slog at some points. I think the novellas work a lot better for Murderbot stories.

Wells makes excellent use of the expanded format for this installment of Murderbot Diaries, allowing us more time with Murderbot to make connections and ruminate on how far we’ve come and what to do next. Action packed, hilarious, and incredibly touching, it’s everything we love about Murderbot cranked up to 11!

I love these books and characters so much. They're so smart, action packed, witty, and full of heart. I liked this novel length story as it gave a little more room to breathe, and a lot more room for things to go from bad to worse. Can't wait for more!

murderbot novel perfect no notes. reading this series really came at the perfect time in my life. I guess I needed a snarky emotionally avoidant companion with a lot of recognizable coping skills but also a lot of love and care in its partially augmented but mostly organic heart.

enough feelings! book thoughts. I love the various levels of consciousness and activity. It’s like having multiple screens of interesting inputs but in narrative form. I’ve never read anything like it before and it’s super entertaining, fun, and modern. A wonderful representation of how we interact with modern tech, but made more fanciful and fun and accelerated because of Murderbot’s enhanced processing abilities. Basically it’s fun to feel like you’re just as smart as murderbot, processing so many interesting inputs at once as he is. It’s like you get all the benefits and satisfaction of the analysis and hard work, without doing any of the work. I think it’s a triumph of creativity and readability!
