This was fun like always, some of the action scenes were a bit too long/detailed, so I ended up zoning out. As always, I enjoy the sarcasm and jokes, but I wish murderbot would demonstrate more growth, since it's book four now

This novella is a nice conclusion to the general story arc that's been ongoing throughout these first 4 books in the series, and it sets up the stand alone full length novel pretty nicely. It was nice to see the return of the PreservationAux team, and I liked the continuation of Murderbot exploring the idea of personhood and figuring out what it wants. Looking forward to reading the next one!

The action in this one is pretty interesting with a lot of moving parts so it is fun to imagine and try to visualize all the fight scenes.

Amazing. I love Murderbot and I love seeing their progressions/growth. This story shows a more sentimental/emotional side to Murderbot and it warms my heart ☺️

I love this series so much!!! (Note: I will be using they / them pronouns for Murderbot in this review). 
This particular book focuses on rescuing Dr. Mensah from book 1, after the actions from Murderbot inadvertently get her captured, with the rest of the crew members also making an appearance. It also focuses on Murderbot’s relationship with these humans, reflecting on why they escaped after book 1 in the first place, and what do they want their place in the world to be. Murderbot and Mensah’s relationship is very sweet, and it feels like they have a real family with her and the rest of the crew. The book was action packed, fast paced and full of Murderbot’s sarcastic dry humor we’ve come to love them for. One of my favorite books in the series for sure!
