I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say that the protagonist is loveable and I think more people should read this series - it really isn't SciFi, in the classic sense.

Super great writing style- the first entry into the Murderbot Diaries. Slight heavier sci-fi than I’ve read, but adventurous and entertaining- branching into a world to explore. I’d recommend this Wells series for fans of Becky Chamber’s writing, or fans of ‘Bang Bang Bodhisattva’ by Aubrey Wood

Loved it! I thought the language would be hard to get into since it's sci fi and it's been ages since I've read one, but the moment I started reading I knew that I was gonna love it and wouldn't be able to stop until I finished it. Definitely recommend if you want to get into sci fi and don't wanna commit to sm huge, this is just right.

WOW I LOVED THIS! one of my goals this year is to venture outside of my comfort in the romance genre and only reading books that have a romance plot/subplot, and this was my first of the year. this series came highly recommended by two of my online friends, and they did not miss!! i truly loved this and immediately went and put the rest of the series on hold at my library. the narrator did such a great job & i really like being in murderbot's head. i'm looking forward to continuing this series & seeing where murderbot goes from here.
