So I didn’t know this was a standalone book and I am so confused at what’s happening 😭

This was definitely slow at several points, but the ending made up for that. I loved seeing ART and Murderbot fight like teenagers. Not sure how I feel about a potential relationship??? Idk lol

I really like the short story aspect of this series. But it is great to have a full length thrown in to enjoy as well.

This was another great installment in The Murderbot Diaries. This is also the longest so far. There were times that my mind wandered & I would have to run it back a bit but I don’t think that was the fault of the writing but more of my skills of multitasking. If you like Sci-Fi (particularly space stories) & want to go on an adventure while laughing, I highly recommend this series.
