My favorite of the series, so far. 

Murderbot is still exploring who it is and who it wants to be, wrestling with its individual freedom and what it means to choose friendship, even with someone who isn’t like you and doesn’t understand your kind.

I want to be friends with Murderbot, but I don't think it would be comfortable with that.

I think this may have been my favourite one, though I did miss ART.

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 😭

I love Murderbot and I love the humans it comes to care about.

The continuing adventures of Murderbot.

Strong series, although I liked books 1 and 2 better.

Already have #4 in hand and will continue to follow as long as the author keeps it going.

Most interesting AI ever. Ranks right up there with the AIs in Neal Asher's Polity series.
