After reading the first novella in this series and now finishing the second, I am not surprised to be just as delighted, entertained, and enthralled by the second book as I was the first. Furthermore, this second addition to the series included more backstory, more open questions concerning Murderbot's past, and more complexity to the possible steps the character will take along the way. 

Even the supporting characters, who we have no way of knowing if we'll see again, are fully developed and dynamic. I find myself with the urge to the find a copy of the third book as quickly as possible.
