An engaging addition to the series! I should be transparent that I read the first 5 books in the series in a week and they all kind of blur together, but I did enjoy this one, especially with Murderbot reconnecting with the crew that freed it from The Company.

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

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.
