Re-read March 2025

Just as good if not better on the re-read/listen. Kevin Free nails the narration. As many listeners feel, he is Murderbot for me.

Initial read 


I loved Murderbot and can't wait to read more about its adventures! A great mini sci fi adventure for anyone wanting to dip in without having to read massive world building.
