Can't believe I'm just finding this series. Love the world, love the POV, love the pace - only complaint is the book goes by too fast! Looking forward to devouring the rest of the series.

I love Murderbot. Thank you Emily Axford for the absolutely fantastic recommendation and thank you past Madison for writing it down when she mentioned it. Kevin R. Free does an absolute excellent job at narrating, I would highly recommend the audiobook (it's included on both spotify and audible for free if you have a subscription to either!!)

This book was recommended to me a lot. No regrets reading it. Beautifully short but packing a lot into 200 pages through the casual descriptions of how society is structured that you can infer a lot from. I keep thinking Murderbot is watching Sailor Moon though based on the show title, which I think inherently makes it funnier. Not my highest rating because M's apathy leaves me a little apathetic too.

 It's the meme;
 You ruined a perfectly good Murderbot. Look, it's got anxiety. 

Lol. I loved this book. I thought Murderbot was very cute, is that weird? 

It's a character focused story. There are not huge amounts of world building but the references to corporations acting pretty much as the do in current day is giving dystopian vibes. Which honestly says a lot about our world. Quick easy read that left me wanting more.

Questions like what happened in Murderbot's past? What will Murderbot do in the future? Do the other bots have just as vivid desires as Murderbot and only can't express it because they're trapped by the governor module?

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

The premise is neat and the characters are interesting and complex, but this book never really grabbed me and I found it hard to really get into the story.
