This was an enjoyable read. Funny and inspiring. I love murderbot and I also want to binge watch TV and not communicate with others. The mystery under the cozy sci-fi surface of the story makes is so you can't put it down.

Makes me really want to reread ancillary justice. Parentheticals got on my nerves. A fun plot though! Artificial Condition was the better of the two because of ART. I actually didn’t like murderbot itself that much; a little boring.

This was wonderful. I love Murderbot. I love this novella style of sci-fi. I love the world and the simple, snarky narration. Devoured it! 4.5/5

Murderbot's voice is definitely the strongest feature of these first two novellas. By the end of the first novella, I was intrigued, by the middle of the second novella, I was deeply invested. Very easy-to-read in a way that didn't feel condescending. Definitely planning to read the rest when I have time.
