I can't tell which characters I like more in these books. The humans or the bots. But they both get better and better with every book. I'm really interested in the overarching story that is starting to take form. Can't wait to continue!

The third of the Murderbot Diaries books. This was also quite interesting with some neat new characters, particularly Miki. Though it didnt feel as good as ART, it was still a curious bot that helped grow Murderbot. Overall the story was fun, but lacked some of the clarity and intrigue of Artificial Condition. However, it does set the stage for future novels.

As much as I love Murderbot, I think Miki stole the show - and even Murderbot would admit that.
I know I haven't written much of an in-depth review on any of the Murderbot Diaries, but mostly that's because I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said - you really should just go pick them up. Every time I finish one of these stories, I'm sad because I just plowed right through it and it was such an enjoyable read. Luckily, I have a few more to go!

Much like the first two stories, it's full of kind characters, heroism, a lot of cool action and cool lines. We're on a derelict terraforming station in a storm. But is it really abandoned...? Spooky!
For the first time, a good character dies! I'm upset, but it was a good death. (Good for the story, not so much for the subject.)
I totally thought the station had aliens! Will there be aliens? Who knows.

So far, this has been my favorite of the series. These books are very short relative to most science fiction/fantasy. The entire plot really anchors on strong character development in each story. You will not find a lot of world building here. Sometimes this is frustrating, because the reader will inevitably have hundreds of questions about why/what/when/how as Murderbot encounters issues on each planet in its inter-galactic quest. But this streamlining of the world (only telling us what is absolutely essential for us to know) keeps these volumes within 200 pages or less.
I do recommend this series for those interested in science fiction. They are fast-paced, adventurous, and humorous. The second volume became a bit pedantic at times, but overall I am impressed by the first three volumes in this set.

Unfolds Murderbot’s “personality” through another engaging mission with pesky moral decisions. Watching it make another robot friend is endearing and amusing, while continuing Wells’s deft exploration of character.

These just keep getting better. Well thought out, biting in places, and just plain fun.

In this episode of Murderbot: the delightful foil, Miki, who is a friendly and social bot. Also, perhaps my favorite of the adventurous romps against an entire evil factory. In the second book, I spent some time worrying about whether each book was truly going to be episodic and isolated from the characters of the last. In this book, the glory of the structure became clear. Wells has written these each like a TV episode with a standalone arc and set of characters, but an arching metaplot. (With a reading speed of 100 pages/hour, I also finished these off in only trivially more time than a standard television episode.) This feels like an adorable callout to Murderbot's favorite hobby. As much as Murderbot learns about its world by watching soap opera, we learn about this world (and by extension our own society and the interaction between people and corporations) through …

What a fun series this is! These are pretty short books but there is a ton of action, humor and atmosphere packed into each one. I am always chuckling at the sarcastic and often profane asides by Murderbot, as it gets itself into all kinds of trouble.
It is trying to investigate GrayCris, a shadowy corporation that is up to no good and seems to be responsible for the near disaster in the first book. There are a few adventures on the way, but once on the space platform, the action really ramps up. It is especially funny how Murderbot deals with the other robots, who are often much simpler than it. But they still have their own surprises!
So the story ambled right along, and Murderbot gets in and out of jams constantly. So much atmosphere and world building with such an economy of words. Fantastic reading and I …

The 3rd novella is every bit as good as the first two. Fast-paced, great characters, funny as hell, and all the feels!
