System Collapse by Martha Wells
4.0

 Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

You’re stalling,
ART-drone said. I am not. I can stand here and be useless without any ulterior motives, thanks.

Hmm. I loved this one too but it felt a little all over the place and unfinished. It was neat that it focused on Murderbot’s mental health and struggles, but there was no resolution. It felt very isolated in a way.

I’m really wanting more of Murderbot interacting with Dr. Mensah. They’re best friends after all. Even if Murderbot would likely never admit it, lol. Anyway, can’t believe we’re 7 books in and I still want more. Unheard of.
