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.
