This was fun like always, some of the action scenes were a bit too long/detailed, so I ended up zoning out. As always, I enjoy the sarcasm and jokes, but I wish murderbot would demonstrate more growth, since it's book four now

This novella is a nice conclusion to the general story arc that's been ongoing throughout these first 4 books in the series, and it sets up the stand alone full length novel pretty nicely. It was nice to see the return of the PreservationAux team, and I liked the continuation of Murderbot exploring the idea of personhood and figuring out what it wants. Looking forward to reading the next one!

The action in this one is pretty interesting with a lot of moving parts so it is fun to imagine and try to visualize all the fight scenes.

4.0

In which Murderbot explores the concept of free will, and chooses to extend it to other constructs. 

I liked the previous three books a bit better, particularly the two that had Murderbot teaming up with other sentient bots.
