Really liking this series thus far. If you’re a fan of short sci-fi books that have an awkward and anti social robot as the main character, you’ll like this.

This series is delightful. Buddying Murderbot up with a sassy and sarcastic transport ship was brilliant. I enjoyed how their interactions contrasted how two non-human beings might relate, as opposed to how humans relate to robots, AI, constructs, and each other. Clever and humorous, an excellent second installment to the Muderbot Diaries.

I enjoyed this second peak into Murderbot's life.  It was interesting watching it continue to wrestle with what it means to be human and now what it means to have autonomy.  I absolutely love ART and want to introduce it to Farscape, even if the number of episodes it could tolerate would be very small.  A quick read to get the blood flowing to start of the year - like a nice jog, but in book form. 4 stars.

mindboggling amazing. i'm really liking the adventure sorta plot this series has, as we go with murderbot through the universe. this one was definitely a good one!! i liked the diverse SCs and getting to see murderbot interact more with those around it, especially ARF (i think that was the name it gave the ship). i can't wait to read the next one!
