What am I supposed to do with my life now that I’ve finished all of the Murderbot Diaries books?????? Oh right, re-read them all in different formats! I’ve already started onto the dramatized audio version of All Systems Red, because I have a problem, clearly.

I absolutely loved this instalment! While the books tend to follow a pretty linear / predictable plot path, this one had a bit more twisting and turning that kept you on your toes! Especially the [redacted] elements, which simultaneously frustrated and intrigued me! I just want to know everything about this world!!! 

I loved the new combo of characters; seeing Ratthi in close quarters with Tarik, Iris, and ART-Drone was a really interesting way to get to know each of them and how they react to pressure. Much like ART, I’m inclined to see Iris as a personal favourite as well. 

Anyways, I’m ready for the next one please!!!

i love this series so much that of course i’m always going to read the new books. this one, though… it’s incredible on its own. i loved the exploration of SecUnit’s connection to their inorganic parts and also the continued relationship with ART. i will continue to read this series forever please and thank you.

the mentions of slavery and trafficking are depicted as bad and

don’t actually happen on page/the people do not end up being enslaved
