Damn I want there to be more of these books so bad. I’m so bummed to be done with them now and will probably have a book hangover in short order🥲😅
This last one was just as enjoyable as all the prior ones, and I enjoyed the <spoildet> extension of the adventure with the Barrish-Estranza drama because I really wanted to know what happened to that planet and its population after Network Effect.
I love how Murderbot is just running around setting other secunits free also…I’m so here for that shit🥹
It was so cool to be introduced to more of ART’s crew more in depth - basically another awesome Murderbot adventure. It’s like wee hours here so I have been gleefully irresponsible and now must go deal with the consequences of my actions tomorrow 😂
The themes of the impact of story, narrative, and choice were powerful and moving, and I love that they made a documentary to show the colonists their options and the truth. That was so fucking dope - the power of stories is real!🥹
I fucking love Murderbot and this whole universe and all the people and bots and constructs and etc. in it - I deeply hope there will be more adventures ahead. Thank you Martha Wells, from the bottom of my heart, for creating such wonderful stories. 🤗

Content Warnings
Moderate: Confinement, Death, Gun violence, Slavery, Violence, Blood, Kidnapping, Colonisation, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
Most of these things were brief mentions, although some things, like whether the planet population would choose to go with the people that would, unbeknownst to them, enslave them, were ongoing themes. Nothing terribly graphic, but definitely some at times somber tones. I am a sensitive reader and it wasn’t too much for me.
