I loved this novella, probably a little more than i liked the first one, but the series is very engaging. I really loved ART as an addition to the cast of characters, i loved getting to see Murderbot grow and try to find a concept of self throughout the story. It's really just a delight to read, i'm looking forward to the rest of the series

This one was quite funny and I loved seeing the murderbot and ART interact. I'm also excited to see how the plot behind the murderbots's rogueness unfolds

This book starts right where the first one finishes. And like the first one it continues with great world building and (background) diversity.
Seeing Murderbot being free for the first time and figuring out what to do and what it wants, was cool.  The reluctant friendship it has with ART was just amazing. ART being so bored at its job, that it decides to help a dangerous stranger is just amazing. In general, this book/series is so good in developing its non-human people and how they see themselves in regard to others and how they interact with each other.
It is also kinda funny to see how Murderbot feels awkward and unsure, but somehow all people it works with so far, really like and appreciate it. Murderbot continues being a relatable character.

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.
