Nicht nur wegen seines Umfangs (erster Roman der Reihe) - am meisten actiongeladene Murderbot. WΓΌrde wieder lesen.
This book seemed like a longer adventure and deeper understanding of Murderbot and his allies. His/Its world has grown and it is faced with decisions and learning it is not prepared for, except the threats it faces are more daunting and dangerous than ever. This story is a full sized novel of a mission into impossible odds but then again Murderbot only seems to do impossible things.

My favorite so far I think. I'm pretty excited for three as well and hope I'll read more of it. I had a bit trouble understanding what happened when on the colony in the beginning but it didn't hinder enjoying the book.
3.5
a bit too long for my liking of murderbot stories. the middle especially felt like it dragged on forever. still, yet another wholesome murderbot story, this time with the return of ART!
Enjoyable, but I got bogged down in the middle for a good while: I suspect I prefer this kind of story at novella length.
