I made it back here! 

I guess you can’t tell a story from the point of view of something that you don’t think has a point of view. 

Murderbot is such a fun series to read and I find it very amusing. I'm glad to be back and, once again, excited for the adventures ahead!
This time Murderbot goes back to the mining facility where it went rogue to find out what really happened. Murderbot teams up with ART (aka Asshole Research Transport) and their duo is just perfect! I don't know what it is, but I was a tad sad to see them go their separate ways. I do hope that we get to see ART again in later installments!

 For my entire existence, at least the parts I could remember, I had done nothing but accept the inevitable. I was tired of it. 

Murderbot is undoubtedly more human-like than before, it has a personality and to some extent even a moral compass. I love reading about it's thoughts and opinions, how it becomes a human - always evolving and growing as a person. And still as relatable as ever!
 
Sometimes people do things to you that you can’t do anything about. You just have to survive it and go on. 

It's been a while, since I started this book and truth be told, I don't remember the beginning that much anymore, only bits and pieces. The ending was definitely a quicker and more enjoyable part, but I'm not sure why the beginning was such a struggle, since now it seems like a really great story. Ready for more in the future either way! (Please, ART, I miss you and Murderbot!)

There was a huge difference between knowing something happened and seeing the reality of it.

I like this book, but I didn’t have as much action as the first one. I did really like the exploration of how the bot thinks about themselves in terms of being human, artificial intelligence, being an object and a tool versus its own entity.

this second novella reads a bit like a side-story. Plot-wise it was very thin. I’ve got the feeling this series would be better suited to be read as a novel.

I love the dynamic between Murderbot and ART in this book! As usual, the plot of this had my emotions all over the place. But it was such a comfort to me to go back into this universe Wells has created. I can’t wait to pick up the next one and see what Murderbot decides to do!

Murderbot, my beloved 😭
It took me slightly longer to get into this one, but I think that's because I was still, like, mentally gnawing on the first one.

I love ART, it reminds me of another ship bound AI character I love. I think Murderbot calling it an asshole is in character, but probably not an accurate assessment. I'm not convinced we've seen the last of ART. I enjoyed seeing Murderbot realize it still enjoys helping clients, I wonder if we'll see more conflict over what it thinks it wants versus what it thinks its been trained for. Is it what it *really* wants?
