The first few books were enjoyable and inventive. Wells leveled up seriously with this one. The length, depth, characterization, and perspectives are all deeper and better-done. If you only “liked” the first four, this will make you love the series.

Muderbot is incredibly consistent about causing mayhem across the galaxy and then finding ways to extract all involved

This was an excellent story from an excellent series.

The series average pulls this one from 3 up to 4 stars. I found my eyes glazing over sometimes when reading about coding, patches and software.

Probably my favorite in the series-the emotions of the characters were so visceral! I love Art and Murderbot so much, their interactions are always so fun and engaging.

The plot was a little confusing and I had to reread sections to keep up. That’s why I gave it four stars instead of five. Still, I love the characters!

Not the best of the Murderbot books but still a great read.

Excellent read - good plot lines. Characters you get invested in.

A slight spoiler but not really, his baby is not what you would guess even being a Murderbot fan. I loved this one, especially with it being so much longer. Great fun and a wonderful adventure with some more added twists.

The Murderbot Diaries is destined to join the pantheon of classic science fiction series, in the same orbit as Foundation and Dune. This book in the series kept the same level of intelligence and drama as those preceding it and advanced the developing consciousness of Murderbot.
