Okay. This is probably the funniest installation so far?? I mean the plot is complex, just like with the first two books in the series. But idk, something about Murderbot being annoyed by humans and feelings and thinking like an introvert feels so funny and relatable at the same time 😭

This is Murderbot series' third book, the story keeps going! Murderbot is trying to do it's thing and investigate GrayCris Corporation, but humans somehow keep getting involved and now it needs to protect them, even though it really wants to be left alone. There's also mentions of Murderbot's original crew and intrigue with the unaccounted SecUnit.

I hate caring about stuff. But apparently once you start, you can't just stop.

It's always nice coming back to this series and the proof is very evident - I'm still reading and planning to take on the next part, because I really want to know how the whole thing with Murderbot going back to Dr. Mensah is going to turn out.
This time we got to see Murderbot interact with Miki (a human-form bot) and that was super interesting to see.
Murderbot did miss ART tho (me too buddy). I still hope that in later installments we get to see them working together again :)

I was tired of pretending to be human. I needed a break.

Murderbot was going through it this time! The sarcasm, annoyance and also the oh shit moments made it even more relatable than before. With every story it's becoming more and more human-like. The sass and the personality has always been there, but there's genuine feelings coming through, you know what I mean? Well, it's going to be very interesting to watch, I can't imagine what's coming next...

Pretending bad things aren’t happening is not a great survival strategy in the long run.

Murderbot is at it again with developing it’s ass kicking skills and it’s interpersonal skills. Investigating the remnants of something with GreyCris this time, this felt more connected to the main story from All Systems Red than the second novella did. It felt fun and well paced , the twist was good and I’m glad that even Murderbot can be wrong about things.

For a Murderbot book, this is standard. It relies a lot on Murderbot’s hacking abilities. I didn’t hate it but I didn’t feel as attached to the characters as the first two books.
