I've been eagerly awaiting this book as I've had it on hold from my library since December when I finished All Systems Red and it did not disappoint. I loved Murderbot's journey forward from the events in the first book and how it adapts to new challenges. 

The Good:
- The empathy I felt for Murderbot was intense. As anyone with anxiety can appreciate, sometimes you get though the day with dry, sarcastic humour, wishing you could hide and looking forward to when you can dive into your favourite book/show/media undisturbed. 
- ART was awesome and I hope to see more of them in the series. 
- As someone who sometimes uses non-binary pronouns, I was really intruiged and excited by the te/ter pronouns used by one  of the side characters. I also love how this setting normalises non-monogamous committed relationships.
- The plot was great and has really.buolt up my curiousity about what happened to our anxious SecUnit.

What could have been better?:
- The pacing occasionally felt off with some sections feeling rushed and others dragging. Not a major issue but was sometimes grating.

I have Rogue Protocol on hold now and am really looking forward to it. Hopefully it won't be four months this time because I'm not sure I can hold out that long!
