I was pleasantly surprised that this 5th book in the series is a big book compared to the previous ones in the series, a novel instead of novella. Murderbot is one of my all time favorite characters and this one does not disappoint. There's a lot of action, tension and humor. Also lots of references to the previous books so you should read the first 4 if you haven't already. And (possible teeny tiny spoiler) oh boy! my other favorite character from book 2 returns!!! Fun reading.
A nearly perfect science fiction yarn. You're riding along in Murderbot's head as he saves his âclientsâ again (When will they listen and NOT get themselves on danger), teenage angst, alien âinvaders?â and all these complex emotions. There's even a split personality moment or 4.
The narration is hilarious â should humans handle their own security â with calm moments in between the action bits. We see logical (and touching, sometimes) emotional development - constructs and humans.
I burned through the novellas. This full length novel just carries on the tradition of a decent (if predictable) plot, but superb characters. Yes. I read through the next morning to finish the book.
