I'm 50/50 on this book. It was very slow at the beginning but really hits it's stride and becomes very action packed and edge of your seat but it takes a bit to get there. And because this follows Network Effect timewise, having Fugitive Telemetry between, I was so confused at the beginning and had to put it down an dread a summary of Network Effect.  I feel like some of the Murderbot-ART interactions are the best of the series, and this is definitively one of the more 'Oh no, I'm feeling emotions' of the series, so more character development for our beloved Murderbot. But the main 'thing that happens to Murderbot's emotions' didn't really get dealt with by the end, I'm hopeful that's what the next book will solve.
