Basically a part two of Network Effect, picking up immediately where NE left off with no build up or background knowledge. I loved the deep dive into Murderbot’s organic brain material, anxiety, and PTSD, and I was happy that the NE plot was wrapped up. 

However, it’s starting to get to a point where I want more from this series. There’s been like 7 entries and I love the world, I love the characters, I love Murderbot. But I need a little more variation in the individual plots. I’m hoping the next book does that, following Murderbot and ART on a mission.
