That was really fun to read. The plot was complex and multi-layered, but not in a confusing way. The characters were a bit hard to keep track of at times (so many names!), but mapping out their relationships to eachother helped. Ultimately this book explores what it means to be a person. It goes into more depth than the previous novellas because it has the space to do so.
Both my Mum and my sister have also read it now, so it's fun being able to rant about what has happened in the book with them.
Some highlights from talking to them and in general are:

Some highlights from talking to them and in general are:
- ART being dead and being so sad about it cos ART is great
- ART no longer being dead and me and Murderbot being so happy about it
- The whole relationship between Murderbot and Art tbh
- Comparing making the Murderbot copy/killware like it and ART having a baby
- ART's crew caring about it and giving it a nickname, Peri
- The shenanigans with the multiple perspects with 1.0, 2.0 and Three.
- Mensah and Murderbot caring about eachother

This was fantastic!! I've really enjoyed all of the Murderbot novellas, but I think this novel is definitely my favorite. The novel definitely allows for a much more complicated plot, and more fully fleshed-out character interactions. Also, the re-emergence of ART was fantastic, since every single conversation between Murderbot and ART is great, and I love watching them pretend they don't have feelings while snarking at each other.
I laughed a lot, I was very invested, and I had a blast, so basically, it was amazing.
