This is basically a typical Murderbot story with more content and an emphasis on it's various relationships and I adored it on ever level. And I loved seeing ART again. That is all.
I'll absolutely be reading this again and I can't wait to dive into the next installment.

The adult/minor relationship is entirely very minimal, it’s brief and the minor involved doesn’t get hurt (evjohn13's review

I'm not usually a re-reader but I'm thinking about reading this again right now.
Update, May 2024: According to my StoryGraph reading journal, I did reread it immediately, and I just now finished another reread, in preparation for reading System Collapse, which is supposed to be set immediately after this one. No wonder I found it easier to follow this time, if it was actually the third read. LOL. Still a page turner.
