I love Murderbot. I like that we get the conflicting emotions (not that Murderbot likes to feel them) of it returning to Dr.Mensah and co. It was a very quick read, which duh novella, but I didn't mind. I was hooked from the beginning. I miss ART though, hope it comes back in the next one. Also I enjoyed the different range of reactions from the PreservationAux folks when Murderbot comes back. And I look forward to seeing how Murderbot continues to grow and if it finally solves the mystery of it's murder spree.

Really wish this series had just been one big book. Am really annoyed because there are so short.

In which Murderbot explores the concept of free will, and chooses to extend it to other constructs. 

I liked the previous three books a bit better, particularly the two that had Murderbot teaming up with other sentient bots.

It just feels nice to hop back into a Murderbot book. It's kind of like checking in on a friend and seeing what shenanigans they've been up to, and I got to see Dr. Mensah and the rest of that crew from the first book again! Throughout the book, Murderbot continues its process of figuring out what it wants and who it is. It also reevaluates its relationships with humans and those that could be considered "friends" (quotes because I'm not sure it's quite ready for those deeper feelings). 

"I didn't know what I wanted (I still didn't know what I wanted) and when you're told what to do every second of your existence, change is terrifying." p.128
