Perfect book, no notes. Anyway, onto my notes:
Knowing about the [redacted] part made it a bit easier because I remember being extremely confused the first time around and then almost being underwhelmed because it felt anticlimactic but it's actually kind of a big deal.
I am ungodly excited for the next part because I really really hope we get Murderbot x Panuniversity of something something and New Tideland, and also on reddit Wells said we'll get more of Three in the future. Three is so far underdeveloped (for a good reason tbh), but the fact that it likes non-fiction instead of fiction is giving 'Magnus Chase hates the colour blue because he needs to be really different from Percy Jackson who loves the colour blue'. I think that's so funny.
I kind of hope Three develops a gender because we had no bot or construct so far using anything other than it/its pronouns and I feel like it would be important to at least see that bots can absolutely develop a sense of gender apart from their """"default"""". Three could be a good way to show that Murderbot's quirks are actually its own quirks and not just what happens to constructs when they go rogue. It shouldn't be the total antithesis to Murderbot, but I feel like we already saw a little bit about Three having been something like friends with the other SecUnits and Murderbot realising in that moment that its maybe just extra weird.
Putting Murderbot in a little jar and shaking it and microwaving it and feeding it little sugar drops with a pipette frfr
