The best of the bunch! I saw another review describe this as the blockbuster film to the miniseries of the novellas, and that's apt. Great payoff for the rest of the series.

All the things I’ve been waiting for and the character development of Murderbot is amazing. Watching them evolve as a human is wonderful to witness.

How can you NOT love a Murderbot who feels terribly guilty when he makes a human cry?

I was wondering how Murderbot was going to translate into a fuller length novel from it's previous shorter formats, but it worked out very well. I only ding it because I had a hard time getting into it at the beginning before a certain character shows up but that's probably more of a reflection on me than Welles' writing. There's quite a few new characters, all of which are just as charming. A fuller cast, more adventure, and more, more sarcasm. Delightful.
