*Initial thoughts*
Another excellent entry in the Murderbot Series. Set right after the events of Network Effect, this story follows Murderbot, ART, the University team, and the Preservation team as they try to save the colonists from becoming the B-E Corporation's slaves. This story is on the darker side of things due to the nature of the conflict with B-E Corp and due to Murderbot's understandable emotional trauma after the events of Network Effect (anxiety, self-doubt, depression, etc. - Murderbot is not having a good time emotionally in this book). However there were still plenty of lighter found family and friendship feels (especially between ART and Murderbot), which are something I really enjoyed in the previous books. There is also some exciting action sequences and the snarky Murderbot and ART asides and conversations that we know and love from the previous books.
