4.0

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.

4.5

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 ☺️
