I love this series so much!!! (Note: I will be using they / them pronouns for Murderbot in this review).
This particular book focuses on rescuing Dr. Mensah from book 1, after the actions from Murderbot inadvertently get her captured, with the rest of the crew members also making an appearance. It also focuses on Murderbot’s relationship with these humans, reflecting on why they escaped after book 1 in the first place, and what do they want their place in the world to be. Murderbot and Mensah’s relationship is very sweet, and it feels like they have a real family with her and the rest of the crew. The book was action packed, fast paced and full of Murderbot’s sarcastic dry humor we’ve come to love them for. One of my favorite books in the series for sure!
