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

This book especially made me ship Murderbot and Mensah, though I’m still waiting for the whole ownership thing to be resolved…
The thing that has me conflicted is the very tech heavy language. This is a me issue, and has been an issue for me with every book so far. My (likely adhd) brain really struggles to focus when a book has a difficult writing style or uses a lot of terms I don’t understand. I will just automatically start daydreaming or drifting off into some random thought without wanting to. It’s like it’s too much effort to read through all the confusing stuff so my focus just gives up. This type of book requires more focus than I have. I’m still gonna continue in the series, because I love Murderbot and the other characters too much not to, but every book just has me wishing it were written in a way that was more compatible with my brain.
Quotes:
“How humans decide what to do with their arms on a second-by-second basis, I still have no idea.”
Me neither, Murderbot.
“I don’t think anyone wants that.”
That was Gurathin. I don’t like him. “I don’t like you.”
“I know.”
He sounded like he thought it was funny. “That is not funny.”
“I’m going to mark your cognition level at fifty-five percent.”
“Fuck you.”
“Let’s make that sixty percent.”
