I adored this book. It was funny and fresh. I love the rich world surrounding the story. It felt like watching Alien for the first time, but less scary.

I didn't realize this was a novella when I decided to read it. I haven't really read that kind of format before. I also didn't realize it wasn't a full story arc until the end of the book and was left wondering what I had missed.
It wasn't until I found out that the first four books made up a full story arc that I really appreciated the work. I really did enjoy this series. I still need to read the other books after the fourth, but I'm was very happy with the first four.
I found out about this series because of the live action show based upon this work. Truthfully, because of the title I had always avoided it, thinking it was just another AI robot gone death machine. While in actuality it's the opposite, which is fantastic.
I really got into the characters and their struggles. I will likely watch the series now, but want to give some time after my reading.

Eu tinha bastante expectativa pra esse livro e ele conseguiu se superar em tantos aspectos. A escrita em primeira pessoa, nos transporta pra consciência de um robô que teoricamente não era pra ter consciência ou livre arbítrio, e faz isso com muito humor, ao mesmo tempo que levanta debates e questionamentos interessantíssimos.
A escrita de Martha Wells é excelente! Muito empolgado pra continuar essa saga.

I honestly don't know how to feel. It was definitely good, but it took me a while to really get into the plot (which is saying something considering this is like 150 pages), but it just felt like so much was missing. I'm sure that if I read the rest of the series (which is a maybe right now) then the story will feel more cohesive and meaningful, because this just felt very half finished. I did really like Murderbot as a character, which redeemed the mediocre plot.
