The ending felt a bit weaker somehow but the story gripped me quite well...goes to show that best stories don't need be 500+ pages long. Lolz
Murderbot is somewhat one of us, seen through the lens of a "construct" character, with some glitchy (metal health) limitations like social anxiety, past trauma, lingering connections, social introvert but media extrovert...come on now, at least for me, relatability was off the roofs! Lol
It's clever and smart with its world building and teamwork aesthetics but above all that, it's a masterpiece into exploring strong empathetic characters in such short tale! Ofc somethings felt a bit hindered by the shortness of the text but maybe that's just my bias to know Murderbot better...guess further books will be consumed with the same inspiration! Thanks for the brilliant story Wells 🤗🙏💙
