Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

3.5 stars. The plot felt lacking a bit in this one, but was still enjoyable to be reading about Murderbot and his adventures again.

I am so glad I started this series. Murderbot and ART had me actually laugh out loud. I honestly wish this was a full novel instead of only a novella.

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

4.0

This was such a fun time. Murderbot is genuinely funny. Even though this is a novella, and less than 150 pages, the story felt complete and I thought the characters still had complexity to them. I think this would be a great book option to get someone out of a reading slump.

So entertaining. For the best reading experience, I recommend listing to the audiobook while reading it physically. Wil Wheaton does a great job narrating, and I thought the comics were so fun.

Very cool concept. This was very science heavy and I found myself trying to keep up with all the information, but I was still entertained.
