This was a great followup to the first two books and I feel like each book is better than the last. The plot seems to be expanding and our loved our crew of extras in this installment. I'm excited to continue the series.

Murderbot continues to be the most perfect protagonist in this installment, an eerie venture into an abandoned terraforming facility, which also involves a charming and cheerful bot that acts as an excellent foil to Murderbot's doom and gloom. Their dynamic together and the way their interactions and relationships to human contrast each other make for an interesting read, not to mention the twists and turns of the adventure itself.

Some of the casualness in Murderbot’s inner dialogue starts to blur the line between actual character and author. I want to continue to be in its head but it’s getting more difficult. Other than that, ARGH!! I LOVE MURDERBOT DIARIES!!!!!

4.0

Another good book with Murderbot. It is a really great MC, I love how it always panics about everything, but still solves situations in ingenious ways. And how it doesn't want to care, but still does so much.
My favourite in this book was Miki, loved its interaction with its friends and Murderbot. I really appreciate how so far all books featured bots with non-regular relationships / interactions with humans, Murderbot, Art and Miki. That really makes the universe much more interesting and also sets the books in the series apart from one another.
I also enjoy, that there is an overarching plot, but the plot of every single book is still interesting and explores more of the whole universe and gives us more worldbuilding.
