Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
4.5
This whole series has just been amazing book after amazing book.
Following Rogue Protocol (MurderBot #3), Exit Strategy definitely picked it up a little bit. It pulled together a lot of the threads we had been picking up over the last 2 in the series and brought MurderBot back together with the crew that they had met in book 1. I had been hoping for this since I read All Systems Red, and it was honestly done really well. It was so clear how everyone on that crew really cared for or at least respected MurderBot in their own way, and seeing them interact with the MurderBot they once knew and learning how to interact with and make accomodations for the MurderBot they had become was so sweet.
And of course it wouldn't be a MurderBot book without some great action sequences, the threat of sudden death, and pages full of (un)ethical hacking and getting friendly with transport bots. I was STRESSED when MurderBot's memory restart was taking so long, but I also kind of loved getting to relive some of those memories, and see what exactly triggered a lot of their repair cycle. It was sort of like getting to understand what made MurderBot... MurderBot, and that was a really special part of the story.
Again, I can't believe it took me so long to continue with this series, but I'm so glad there's so many books for me to just barrel through.
