Murderbot is comfort food in book form. This humourous, bizarre sci-fi series is a wonderful relief from everyday life and is fast becoming one of my favourite series.
The Good:
- More of the Murderbot we know and love: they are sarcastic, relatable and an all round brilliant protagonist.
- The cast of characters remains diverse and versatile.
- Some good plot twists, some I saw coming and others kicked my legs out from under me.
What could have been better?:
- The bot characters in this installment weren't quite as enjoyable as in Artificial Condition. Maybe we were spoiled with ART
Overall a great third entry and now looking forward to the fourth.
