I was warned that this was situated strangely chronologically, so I actually had a much better time with this than if I’d not known it takes place before the 5th. Although, I wish I’d known that before so I could just actually read it before the novel.

Either way, Murderbot solving a murder in a fast-paced novella is a good time, inspiringly. It’s less philosophical, which is typically what I’m drawn to here, but I picked this up when I was in the mood for specifically what it was offering and that worked out well.
