I am willing to read this whole series solely for Murderbot.

Chai sums up perfectly how I feel about Murderbot. I was not capable of not loving Murderbot.
The plot and the world-building fell a little flat for me and I just wasn't as invested in that as I was to our half human and half robot main character. But that didn't bother me too much in this case since the pacing is pretty fast with the length of the novel. At the end of the day, it's a light and fluffy sci fi, which is I think what I needed right now. It has just the right amount of thought provoking content to keep the world alive and that was enough for me. For an AI, Murderbot was one of the most relatable and realistic characters that I have encountered (and they are just so funny???).
↣ If you are looking for a quick read that has you in it for some fun and will get you in a sci fi mood, check this out! ↢
