This is the only full length novel in this series. I think because it was so long there was a ton more scientific jargon that I didn’t understand. It made for some of the chapters to feel quite lengthy. We do get some of blasts from the pasts in this book. I loved seeing ART again. His relationship with Murderbot is so entertaining and special. We also get some new faces but they are tied to his friends (who definitely are not his friends) that have been a constant throughout the series, in a way. There were times that Murderbot acted like a scorned teenager when it came to ART. I’m glad that once he worked through those things we were back to a relatively less annoying Murderbot. haha. Overall, it was a fun ride but I do think that the novella type works are much more enjoyable for me.
