Murderbot strikes again! I absolutely loved this. 

This is the second installment in the Murderbot series and I had such a fun time with this. I enjoyed the first one, but I think I liked this installment, just a bit more. 

Once again, we're following Murderbot as it delves into a mystery of it's past and makes some new friends along the way. 

As with the first one, I liked the writing and the plot. I really enjoyed the bit of expansion into the world we got as well. But really where these books shine are the characters. Murderbot is always a delight and I loved the addition of ART. Snarky characters are some of my absolute favorites, and we have so many of those in this series. Finally, the new human crew Murderbot ends up connecting with was also great. 

Another great installment, and I can't wait to read the next one!
