Over all I really enjoyed this book. The only issues I had with the actual prose, was that it was written like we speak. It took me a moment to process, just because I’m not used to reading things in that voice.

Seeing things from Murderbot perspective was really interesting. They used their armor, and helmet as almost an emotion shield for themselves. As well as their programs that they download so that they can retreat into a safe mental space.

I wasn’t immediately hooked on this book, but I will continue on with this series.
