 “You would think a SecUnit who had been shot to pieces multiple times, blown up, memory purged, and once partially dismantled by accident wouldn’t be on the verge of panic under these circumstances. You’d be wrong.” 

What a great sequel! I love the pacing and Martha has a way to keep me engaged and wanting to read more at all times.

Murderbot is so relatable to me and I love the way it analyses everything, is learning exactly how different it is from humans and navigates spaces where it needs to blend in.

The setbacks on Murderbot's journey were exciting and engaging. The way Murderbot deal wth the stupidity of humans, yet wants to protect them is so endearing. I absolutely loved the communications and teamwork between Murderbot and ART, I hope to ump into ART later in the series too!

The world is so interesting to me and I loved the way different species and entirely different pronouns were introduced and were used so easily and normally by Murderbot (as they should be). I really can't wait to read the next part!
