I loved this one so freaking much! Murderbot is honestly the most relatable character I’ve ever read. I just…I have no words. I loved this so much!

I liked that Murderbot made (sort of) friends with the Preservation Station bots (and the fact that they were all ready for a throw down at the slightest hint of danger to one of their own? Fucking priceless!). I also loved the fact that MB pestered Station Security into letting it in on an investigation. And you know, accidentally making acquaintances/sort-of-maybe-friends with the security officers. It was just so good. It seriously had me giggling, because MB is just ridiculously anxious and also so done with everything.

I’m so sad that the next book won’t be out for a while! I just want more Murderbot in my life. Fugitive Telemetry is getting a solid five stars! It’s just so freaking good.
