Fugitive Telemetry (Dramatized Adaptation) by Martha Wells

claireviolet's review against another edition

3.5

for being so connected to preservation, it feels kind of strange how isolated this story feels from the preservation team murderbot has gotten close with. this is a clean, fun mystery and murderbot seems to be at a place where they understand that they're using humor as kind of an unhealthy coping mechanism but they'll be damned if that stops them from making a dry observation every other minute. i also think it's adorable that pin-lee and murderbot curse in the same way. 

did what i was supposed to do and read this before network effect. i really am enjoying these on audiobook as well, which is a recommendation that has probably been beat to death by this point but i'm happy to agree with.

This was great. I think it was my favourite Murderbot book in a while. The humour was on point, I really liked the mystery and the new characters, the pace was great, the book was the perfect length, and I loved Murderbot's interactions with the different people. It has friends now! I love that.

Also, Kevin R. Free's narration has so much personality and it really enhanced the experience. I didn't enjoy his narration much in the last book but I loved it here. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind then. Whatever the case, I really enjoyed this book.

Murderbot, now going by SecUnit in public, begrudgingly helps Station Security and Port Authority solve a murder mystery. While less epic in scope, this next chapter in the Murderbot Diaries keeps all the charm, wry humor, and fast-paced action of the series.
