This is a re-read since it has been a long time since I caught up with the series and I forgot how good this installment in the series is.  It’s a huge culmination of what happened previously seamlessly leading into uncharted territory.  There is a lot to say about what makes you you.  I especially appreciated the self awareness of trying to figure out your purpose in life.

  ART and murderbot mean so much to me.

  On a certain level, I doubt I would be able to finish reading this book without spoilers. There were just too many tense and emotional moments.

YESSSS MORE ART! I still really enjoyed this book, but it was a bit of a slog at some points. I think the novellas work a lot better for Murderbot stories.
