Decided to give this a re-read since I was kinda zoned out the first time and I wanted to brush up so that I can dig into the rest of the series. I think it really helped to read the physical book since the story was so fast paced (which was probably why I missed some details during the audiobook the first time around).
I stand by my original opinion, which is that I love how ~relatable~ a murderous security robot can be. Like yeah, it could kill everyone, but it would really rather just watch TV and not make eye contact with anyone.
I think this first novella was a really interesting setup. I was invested in the plot, and reflecting on it now I’m really interested to learn more about the mysterious company, and how our Murderbot grows and continues to learn about itself.
