i cannot describe how obsessed i am with these books.
... such a good sequel... what the fuck.

this was everything from funny to brutal to adventurous to comforting. this was a portrait of the most human parts of human behavior painted by a very much not-human being.
feels like a warm hug that one can melt into. brilliant.

re-read: 26.02.24
ART and murderbot are my favorite duo. this series to me is the equivalent of what "the rise and fall of sanctuary moon" is to murderbot: pure comfort.

Again, short but very fun! I feel like some parts could have been expanded a little.

I didn’t take in all the details because I listened to the audiobook and was doing stuff at the same time, so I feel like I can’t really review it properly but I still really liked it. I love the worldbuilding in this series so far.

I do like this novella. Murderbot and ART are great characters. But I do see a lot of room for improvement. The climax was lackluster with no real danger, most of the story was predictable, and the secondary characters weren’t fleshed out enough. I much prefer longer books, so I may be biased, but I think it would have been better if it had more time to set things up.
