This was an okay book. Despite it being reaaaally short, it took a while to read because I couldn't really get into it. I didn't really get a full grasp of the world, I felt like there wasn't enough world-building. I also never really got a good sense for the characters except for Murderbot and the client. Given the book was so short, I feel like some pages could have been dedicated to things like that which may have drawn my attention more. Overall a fine read, didn't hate it but compared to what I've been reading, it wasn't the best.
4.5
Okay. I get it. Quick read with an entirely relatable character that one would not think would be relatable.
Murderbot is life.

Incredibly written, despite its short length, and had me on the edge of my seat several times. An absolutely fantastic sci-fi, from someone who doesn't typically read a lot of sci-fi. I definitely will be recommending this to anyone who's willing to listen and can't wait to read the rest of the series!
Fantastic sci-fi! It’s told from the POV of the robot that hacked its own governor module. You’re along for the ride as it realizes different emotions and, while it’s never specifically said, you can see how it starts to care for the humans it’s in charge of without realizing that’s what’s happening. I loved it!
