I did enjoy this one I enjoyed it more then the drown one. I would put this as an average for her series so far. I am worried about one of the characters but hope it translates to a happy ending for her.

I really enjoyed this I just wanted more of daily life honestly more of them interacting. Sometimes that can be boring but their dynamic was so interesting to me that I just wanted more. Also lived the pegging.

Ok, so I also loved this my biggest mistake is I think I should have reread Network Effect and then this one because it starts right after that one. In my Network Effect review, I loved how we could finally explore emotions with Murderbot in it. This one we continue that journey with them and also embrace how hard dealing with emotions, especially dark ones can be. It was handled beautifully and so many times I wanted to hug Murderbot (though I know they don't like physical contact). This ending I will say left me equally happy that the series could just end there and also wanting more. Mostly because I have officially decided that Murderbot and ART are definitely in love. This is a good and healthy rep I feel for the ACE relationship not that I am a part of this community but I could feel the love between them. Especially because both of these beings have human friends really human besties and how they interact with them is classic friendship material but Murderbot and ART communicate and interact on a different level 100% in love and you can't change my mind.

I definitely liked this book and was hooked. The sex was great and I love all the emotion that was present in it and how the characters took a step back to be there for each other. My only complete is that I felt like it suddenly ended I was not expecting it to end how it did and thought it was going to keep going on for at lest another chapter.

This made me teary. I really enjoyed this. It was more sweet but I expected that but it was perfect for the story had it been nay spicier it would have ruined the emotional development. On a representation stand point I loved the touch on how words can hurt more then you realize but it is OK to take time to work things out.
