I love ART, it reminds me of another ship bound AI character I love. I think Murderbot calling it an asshole is in character, but probably not an accurate assessment. I'm not convinced we've seen the last of ART. I enjoyed seeing Murderbot realize it still enjoys helping clients, I wonder if we'll see more conflict over what it thinks it wants versus what it thinks its been trained for. Is it what it *really* wants?

3.5

Most entertaining part was towards the beginning when (very minor spoilers) 

murderbot & ART were talking about media

 
The ending was not as strong as that of the first book and knocked down my rating from 4.5 to 3.5.

Martha Wells knows how to tell a tight story, and this installment of Murderbot Diaries is no exception! It was wonderful to revisit this genius character again, and we were introduced to a wondeful new cast of characters. This episodic installment provided much to enjoy in a perfectly bite-sized story.

I do like this novella. Murderbot and ART are great characters. But I do see a lot of room for improvement. The climax was lackluster with no real danger, most of the story was predictable, and the secondary characters weren’t fleshed out enough. I much prefer longer books, so I may be biased, but I think it would have been better if it had more time to set things up.
