i am so in love with this series (and the whole found family arc).
it's got murder, and intrigue and space fights and friendships. and most importantly, it's got murderbot - in all it's antisocial glory - slowly finding its way and warming up to all the humans that support it. 
all the characters are so incredibly lovely and lovable and the books are so sensible and wholesome in the most mature way ever. sometimes i get bursts of emotions that are almost physical.

And we are back baby! Another Murderbot book read and I’m just falling more in love with this series with each book. Seriously, how is Murderbot such a relatable character? I would love to give it a hug (if it wanted one), or even watch one of its serials with it.

I feel like Murderbot has grown so much in just a short amount of time and it really shows in Exit Strategy. Murderbot is finally getting back to its people and figuring out what it actually wants to do with its freedom. Oooh! Plus Murderbot is back to being it’s sassy and snarky self! I think one of my favorite little moments was when Murderbot flipped Gurathin off. It just made me giggle. But oooh, the ending of that chapter just about broke me. 😭

I’m pretty sure at this point you can tell that I loved this one. So I’m not gonna beat around the bush, Exit Strategy is getting a solid five stars.
