It was alright. I’m not really seeing what’s got people so gaga over this series. Maybe the magic will hit in later books?
All the group marriage crap made me roll my eyes. It felt kinda forced. If it was one character that had multiple partners that would’ve been alright. But my disbelief was stretched beyond reason when basically everyone is in five person group marriages. Poly stuff ticks me off & grosses me out, so seeing too much of it (even as a background detail) tanks my enjoyment
Murderbot was an Ace mood™️ and the little bits of cyberpunk adjacent body horror was delightful(sorry 4 being an edgelord it will happen again 🤭)
An enjoyable quick sci fi read
