Exit Strategy by Martha Wells

4.5

Well shit this was absolutely incredible. Great action scenes that were tense and dynamic and some familiar faces and interesting new relationship developments (Murderbot and Dr. Mensah's interactions were so wholesome my goD!). I am so fucking glad I gave this series another shot because my word is it panning out to be very enjoyable and successful. 

This one in particular reminded me a lot of Dimension 20s 'A Starstruck Odyssey' season with all the combat and space-capitalism and fucking around on a big station, which I just wanted to mention.

I wanted to include the final lines, because they are very wholesome and I like them a lot.

"I had options, and I didn't have to decide right away.
Which was good, because I still didn't know what I wanted.
But maybe I had a place to be while I figured it all out"

2024 reread
Once again, not much to say other than I am really enjoying this, of course. I feel like I'm really picking up a Vibe Of Something between Mensah and Murderbot but that might just be like, me being mildly insane and them just respecting each other and Emotions and stuff but like. Damn. They really do be interacting and making eye contact and touching and stuff. Also I teared up a bit during this towards the end?? Wild times.
