Murderbot gets to confront just how different it would be if it had been treated well, and it... doesn't like it. Murderbot has to keep taking breaks in order to have feelings. Also, once again, Murderbot is saving humans from their own bad decisions, whether or not it thinks that's a good idea. But they're good humans, so it's worth it. Mostly. Maybe. Probably.
Murderbot does this in a setting and situation that keeps ramping up the tension and increasing the stakes, believably if not realistically. It handles all of this with competency and social awkwardness, with help from episodes of Sanctuary Moon.

I found it a little repetitive at some points with other Murderbot plots and found myself skimming over some details. But once the plot got going (about 1/3 of the way through), I was just as hooked as ever

Apparently Martha Wells loves her formula and after the third time it got so tired I just skimmed.
Murderbot reluctantly mother gooses some silly but vulnerable humans, Murderbot begrudgingly protects them, fight scene fight scene fight scene, Murderbot abandons the new group of humans they have to admire and have defection for, runs away.
Not to have spoilers but the characterization for MB was weird too.
Loved the first two books but this one was so dry and predictable I’m going to give up on the series
