That aside, I live and breathe for Murderbot as a character always and seeing It struggle the way it did in this book was a whole thing for me to experience - essentially It's working through it's trauma and is not having a good time. ART is also one of my favorites always and ART and MB's dynamic is everything.
I love seeing the evolution of the humans' relationships with each other and with the bots throughout the books and it was no different here.
This book deals a lot with colonization of a specific planet and seeing the politics involved in all of that was so interesting, but also infuriating.
All in all, another fantastic Murderbot book.

The book makes the choice to chop down the now rather massive ensemble cast to four plus MB for the majority of the book, which is smart and I appreciate it, but also I was a little sad that we got so little Three content. Also i don't think in terms of compelling core team nothing will reach Amena & ART & Murderbot. Which is a lot of words to say that the relationships at the core of this book were somewhat less compelling than the ones in Network Effect.
In terms of steps up I found the happenings easier to follow (especially the intersystem communication).
I also liked the story very much, especially the team frantically making a documentary and the very tense escape through the dark at the end.
