I absolutely love how Murderbot has grown and progressed as a “person” and as a character. This question of personhood, of emotions, relationships, and “humanity” is absolutely fascinating and I love watching it all unfold from Murderbot’s very subjective perspective.
I think at first, because Murderbot is a construct and very analytical, I assumed it would be more impartial and explain the situations as they truly appeared, but I love how much each subsequent book proves this assumption very, very wrong. Murderbot is an incredibly unreliable narrator, based on its own biases and more importantly, whether or not it finds something interesting or useful information.
I loved being reunited with our Preservation Aux friends once again, and I’m excited to see where the next chapter takes us! I would love to see ART again!

I liked the previous three books a bit better, particularly the two that had Murderbot teaming up with other sentient bots.
