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.
