All of the Murderbot Diaries have been utterly wonderful. Well written social, internal, and action scenes; a protagonist that's interesting to follow and complex, but relatively relatable; and they've all been nicely packaged in easy to read novellas.
This one, while obviously not a novella, has been my favorite, and I am hopelessly in love. With Murderbot, with his "relationships", with this series.

This edition is much longer than the other books in the series. That gave the story a lot more time for character development, tying in a bunch of characters and plot lines from earlier books, and creating an intriguing mystery regarding this new planet. Murderbot’s grappling with emotions and relationships is really coming to a head here and it’s wonderful and hilarious and deeply insightful.
