Another Murderbot triumph! I loved being able to spend a full novel with these characters and have a larger, more complex plot unfold. 

The exploration of Murderbot’s grief and navigating its newfound feelings beyond anger were absolutely fascinating and I have found the characterization so refreshing and fun. I just love viewing the world through Murderbot’s eyes (and drones, I suppose) and seeing its worldviews and beliefs be challenged by new experiences and interactions with the people that care about it. 

Also, Arada and Overse forever ❤️❤️❤️
