Review:A nice continuation of the adventures of our murderbot 🤖 friend, but it definitely felt more bland. Our MC is still just as relatable, if not more funny in this installment as he encounters new constructs, humans, and missions. Without spoilers: We unearth more about Murderbots past, but there was also the books 'side/main' mission that did appeal and expand on his human aspects (to learn and experience). But it did feel like it was just written in solely for that purpose. Let me preface by saying it's not a bad story line, I did enjoy, but there were times where I felt more interested in what he's really there for, and the side line felt a little predictable or 'okay, now this'. The book ends on not as a satisfying note/cliff hanger as I was expecting. I still love the series so far, and know there are more books so I know it gets better and can't wait to see where things go!
