I feel like the first half of this was Satisfactory from ADAs perspective but it did start to diverge about halfway through. Only downside to this one was length, I finished the whole thing in like 4 hours (edit: have already placed library holds for the rest of the series).

I've read, I think, 4 of these and thoroughly enjoyed them. I enjoy murderbot as a character and watching their personality develop over the books is great. My biggest issue is length and pricing, in the UK these are as expensive as full length books but are novellas at best. The quality remains high compared to the first book so the rest are worth a read if you can rent them or get them cheap.

It's a great series, but was one of the things that spurred me to get a digital library card; I was spending so much money on books. That's worked out great.

Isn't it the first book in a series? I think I remember reading the whole series a while back

Love this series. They are also making a show based on the books which I'm hopeful will be good
