murderbot experiencing gender euphoria makes me feel so insane. i adore the exploration of gender and identity through murderbot always. this installment was tender. probably one of my favorites from the novellas so far. when people get murderbot it fills me with such joy. i can't wait to see what it gets up to next
oh.
"i needed to have an emotion in private"
this was entirely unexpected. i have some mixed feelings over this installment. there was some intense moments in here then that total gut punch. ow
kind of dragged for me. i think i miss art and secunit bickering

the little moments in this were my favorite. art playing the sanctuary moon theme to soothe murderbot and maro (i think that's how you spell it idk i'm listening to the audios also i came to correct this bc in my drowsy state last night listening to this at 2am i mixed up mensah and maro's names) asking to hug murderbot immediately recognizing its aversion/discomfort to the notion of physical touch and hugging herself in place of it instead. absolutely precious
i didn't get it my first read but i get it now. after ch 2 i was hooked. i ended up binging half of the novellas on a sleepless night. fun, episodic, and relatable. so fucking relatable
diana wynne jones is always able to whisk me off my feet and transport me anywhere with her whimsical prose. these pages hold so much comfort in them. sophie and howl you will always be famous!!!
wow. this was a difficult read. the way jemisin used second person to craft this story was brilliant and the way it all came together. just wow. the reveal was so satisfying. i do wish we explored essun's grief a bit more like in the first quarter of the book. i was the most invested in those chapters. they were raw and powerful. i could feel essun's anger and grief through the page and that's what drew me in. i think all the moon stuff felt silly and like an afterthought. i actually had to reread the last line to make sure i wasn't hallucinating
interesting history of man's interactions with basking sharks!
the exploration of trauma and the depictions of dissociation and grief were haunting. cathartic and beautifully written.
i found new reasons to love the color green more deeply

not sure if i was suppose to guess the big twist from the prologue? maybe it's because i read this and gideon back to back. either way it was a terrible fucking joy. felt gutted afterwards
the meme formats used make this so millennial core tho which lowered my rating tbh. but the chaos of the prose. the absolute delirium i felt reading this. entirely brilliant. i am undone
