At this point in the series I'm just comparing the books to each other, because you wouldn't be here if you don't love our unfriendly space-hood Murderbot. In that regard, this was a decent step above the previous entry in the series.
No deus ex machina here, just Murderbot trying to control their temper/frustration as we are introduced to yet another friendly AI machine on another planet. This time however, Murderbot has to deal with not just saving dumb humans (again), but their dumb robot, Miki, as well. Miki is a lovable naive little robot assistant, annoyingly cheerful and positive, which makes her a brilliant foil to our Murderbot's constant annoyance. We also get some minor plot progression against the overarching conspiracy across this series and some cute touching moments at the end.
This series continues to be an entertaining read in-between my other novels and I dread the day it comes to an end.
