And we are back baby! Another Murderbot book read and I’m just falling more in love with this series with each book. Seriously, how is Murderbot such a relatable character? I would love to give it a hug (if it wanted one), or even watch one of its serials with it.

I feel like Murderbot has grown so much in just a short amount of time and it really shows in Exit Strategy. Murderbot is finally getting back to its people and figuring out what it actually wants to do with its freedom. Oooh! Plus Murderbot is back to being it’s sassy and snarky self! I think one of my favorite little moments was when Murderbot flipped Gurathin off. It just made me giggle. But oooh, the ending of that chapter just about broke me. 😭

I’m pretty sure at this point you can tell that I loved this one. So I’m not gonna beat around the bush, Exit Strategy is getting a solid five stars.

I followed the advice of a dear friend and switched to listening to these on audio and OHEMGEE she was so right. Kevin Free IS the perfect voice for Murderbot, and I loved being even more in their head rather than reading their words on a page. I also loved this installment because we're back with Mensah and the gang, exploring friendships and choice, and it's just *sigh* too good.  I'm so so glad I picked up this series. On the surface, it's just a hella good time. But the themes it explores are DEEP, y'all. Highly recommend.
