i cannot describe how obsessed i am with these books.
... such a good sequel... what the fuck.

this was everything from funny to brutal to adventurous to comforting. this was a portrait of the most human parts of human behavior painted by a very much not-human being.
feels like a warm hug that one can melt into. brilliant.

re-read: 26.02.24
ART and murderbot are my favorite duo. this series to me is the equivalent of what "the rise and fall of sanctuary moon" is to murderbot: pure comfort.

It's amazing how much Martha Wells can do with so few words. Loved the first Murderbot, but enjoyed this one even more - ART was fantastic and a great counterpoint to Murderbot, and it was fun seeing them interact. I look forward to seeing where Murderbot takes us next.

Muderbot leaves the humans who have been assigned as their guardians in the last book, to find out more about their murky past. To do so they must face on of their greatest fears. Interacting with real humans.

So much fun to go along for the ride with Murderbot as they navigate their way amongst humans, and as they deal with their social anxiety. The new cast of characters is also great, I especially liked the sarcastic transport ship, ART, or Asshole Research Transport as Murderbot call them. Sentient bots, and transport ships for that matter, need to stick together.

The murderbot books are so well written, I always end up devouring them in a really short time! Clever, witty, well paced and just such a well written lead character (though I also loved ART!)

I really liked this installation to the series. Especially because we get to meet ART, who is probably my favourite character. 
The plot itself is simple and easy to follow and the writing is really concise which I appreciate. 
Definitely one of my favourite sci-fi series!
