  ART and murderbot mean so much to me.

  On a certain level, I doubt I would be able to finish reading this book without spoilers. There were just too many tense and emotional moments.

I’m not sure I understood everything, but oh boy: these characters!

The characters sing. 

Murderbot is growing and maturing and navigating more than just its complex relationships with *humans* now. 

We got to revisit old friends, meet new friends, enemies and acquaintances, and experience the full spectrum of emotions in an action packed mystery investigation. 

Perhaps by consequence of being longer, I found Network Effect more challenging to read than the other Murderbot books, but I’d say it was still worth the effort.
