This is probably my favorite of the novellas so far (which seems to be a fairly unpopular opinion).
I love Murderbot's solo adventures a lot, but I really enjoyed getting to see It grow and use what It's learned and apply it to those It cares about. The novella had a slightly different feel to it than the previous ones, but this one was centered more on Murderbot's interactions with the humans we met all the way back in All Systems Red.
Definitely looking forward to the next one!
