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.

Amazing. I love Murderbot and I love seeing their progressions/growth. This story shows a more sentimental/emotional side to Murderbot and it warms my heart ☺️

This is definitely up there in fave murderbot books so far. As with most sci-fi, my imagining of most of the scenes is incredibly vague but still loving this series. Though keeping up with all the names and places is starting to get difficult

I love this series so much!!! (Note: I will be using they / them pronouns for Murderbot in this review). 
This particular book focuses on rescuing Dr. Mensah from book 1, after the actions from Murderbot inadvertently get her captured, with the rest of the crew members also making an appearance. It also focuses on Murderbot’s relationship with these humans, reflecting on why they escaped after book 1 in the first place, and what do they want their place in the world to be. Murderbot and Mensah’s relationship is very sweet, and it feels like they have a real family with her and the rest of the crew. The book was action packed, fast paced and full of Murderbot’s sarcastic dry humor we’ve come to love them for. One of my favorite books in the series for sure!

I think we're all Murderbot. We just want to be left alone with our shows but people keep ruining that dream. I'm glad Wells brought back the original team from All Systems Red to really put an end cap on what was supposed to be a 'conclusion' but I'm glad she decided to continue the series.
