Absolutely loved this next instalment of Murderbot! 

I absolutely love how Murderbot has grown and progressed as a “person” and as a character. This question of personhood, of emotions, relationships, and “humanity” is absolutely fascinating and I love watching it all unfold from Murderbot’s very subjective perspective.

I think at first, because Murderbot is a construct and very analytical, I assumed it would be more impartial and explain the situations as they truly appeared, but I love how much each subsequent book proves this assumption very, very wrong. Murderbot is an incredibly unreliable narrator, based on its own biases and more importantly, whether or not it finds something interesting or useful information. 

I loved being reunited with our Preservation Aux friends once again, and I’m excited to see where the next chapter takes us! I would love to see ART again!

As an autistic person, I’m loving the murderbot’s development.  It was hard to sustain attention during the action scenes, which is common for me in general.

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.

In which Murderbot explores the concept of free will, and chooses to extend it to other constructs. 

I liked the previous three books a bit better, particularly the two that had Murderbot teaming up with other sentient bots.
