Oh my gosh! I was reading an ebook that had other books included all in the same thing, so I had no idea I was at the end of the book until it ended.
That was a really tense, fun, and interesting read, and I definitely want to read the next one in the series. I'm super interested in this world, and this character.

This review is written after a re-read. The plan is to go through all the series as a refresher for the most recent book, Fugitive Telemetry.
I still love it. This is definitely one of my comfort read series. Yes, it is short and fast paced so it flies by very quickly but it is so compelling and relatable.
Originally when I read the Murderbot Diaries it was around the time I read the Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie (both have some political intrigue plots as well if that's your jam) and this is where I think my enjoyment for overwhelmed/awkward/antisocial AI characters really bloomed. There's also some found family vibes which I adore.
