(There's probably a bunch of errors in this "review" I wrote this on my phone). 

I just want murderbot to find happiness. I love the character so much and relate so hard to their introvert tendencies. 

However, all of the characters were great and I enjoyed all of murderbot's snarky thoughts about them. I loved seeing the characters grow as people and become closer to murderbot and each other. 

I love this book so much, I only wish I could've seen Preservation. I would have loved to see the polyamorious groups and their family structures. I've not seen a lot of media that explores polyamory and seeing it in this book made me so happy. So, of course I wanted more. 

 Also the idea of Murderbot interacting with children is interesting. Murderbot already dislikes human interaction and children are a lot. 

However, I know that Murderbot wouldn't have enjoyed that life and I've made my peace with the ending.
