For a robot named murderbot, it was very endearing and relatable. 

This book is what the first one should have been. The main problem with the first book was that it was too short to develop such a complex story and introduce so many characters. This made the characters seem flat and reduced Murderbot to a minor role in its own story.

However, this book was just chef's kiss. We got to spend more time with Murderbot. We got to know more about its past, its quirks, its fear and insecurities. We met a few new characters along the way. My favorite one was ART. He was hilarious and had a great friendship with Murderbot. He also loved watching series, but unlike Murderbot it was a wimp when it came to gory scenes. A big softie.

I related to Murderbot way too much. Murderbot was an introvert who didn’t like interacting with humans. It preferred binge-watching series over doing his job. LOL. It was so real for it.

Synopsis
In this book, Murderbot continues his journey alone. He only remembers bits and pieces of his past life and sets out to find out more about what happened in the past that made him so different from the rest of the sec units. It remembers mass murdering, but it doesn’t know how it happened, whether it was a malfunction or a result of it hacking it's own governor module. On its journey, it meets a new machine that it names ART (asshole research transport) and together, with the help of some humans, they try to figure out what happened that day when Murderbot killed all those people.
