Slow beginning, rushed ending. Not terrible but nowhere near the previous either.

Once again this book was everything I wanted it to be. I adore murderbot and Martha Wells does such a fantastic job condensing big ideas into a small complete story. I especially love watching the larger story unfold and it feels a bit like reading a Sherlock Holmes book.

I don't have much to say other than Wells continues to deliver on the promise of previous Murderbot entries, while also diversifying Murderbot's personality.

Oh my gosh that was possibly my favorite MurderBot book yet. My poor heart omg. I’m way too attached to this lil guy.
Just the- “I’m not Rin” and her kNOWING IT IS. My poor heart. I can’t take this.

In this installment, Murderbot gets attached to a team of humans and a human-form bot whom they treat as a friend. Combat ensues courtesy of the evil GrayCris corporation, resulting in a gut-punch of an ending. As Murderbot would say, I need to go have an emotion in private.
