eve_reads 's review for:

All Systems Red by Martha Wells
3.75
adventurous dark emotional funny mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ I like how Wells used changes in Murderbot's internal dialogue to signal his growing love for the humans he interacts with. For example: calling them the "clients" then later "my humans." Such strong way to demonstrate character development!

⁕ I was not expecting to laugh as much as I did while reading this. Murderbot cracks me up. Imagine the anti-social soul of Bilbo Baggins with the power and abilities of the terminator. Absolute comedic gold.

⁕ I wanted this book to have a greater emotional impact on me. Absolutely I enjoyed it, but I was just expecting a Hugo and Nebula award-winning novella to leave me changed more? I have hopes that the series will hit harder as it continues.
