Really quite good, though I didn't realize I had some expectations that weren't met until it was the end of the book and some things hadn't happened.

Murderbot’s most human adventure yet. Always has me on the edge of my seat and is never long enough. I think this is the last book and I’m very sad about it but it feels like a good end to the story.

Immaculate sci-fi adventure, as usual! 

On the surface, this series is sarcastic and fun. But it has undercurrents of addressing important social issues like colonisation, PSTD, corporate greed, and the rights of sentient beings. 

Every single book in this series so far has been immensely enjoyable and I’ve come to adore Murderbot and their companions. 

I implore everyone to give this series a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Another solid addition to Murderbot's story. Who doesn't love it? Now give him a minute, he needs to watch some soaps.

Murderbot continues to be great, I love the world, I love the narration style and I love ART. Murderbot also continues to be maybe concernly relatable.

If you came here for more Murderbot, you sure got what you were after! System Collapse is a direct sequel to Network Effect, so you may want to re-read that book before diving in if you've forgotten what happened. Though we're back to novella length, this story is engaging with a satisfyingly Murderbot solution. I was excited by what the ending set up for future Murderbot adventures!

I love Murderbot!! It was very fun to pick up basically immediately where we left off, and there was a lot more to mine from this setting and scenario than I thought possible. Oh Murderbot, you are so distressed by the fact that everyone wants to be your friend.
