I would like to thank Apple for introducing me to Murderbot even though I'm never going to pay them a dime to watch the show

5 stars

If murderbot was a film series each one would have a more spectacular effects budget, and this one is a fittingly spectacular climax to the arc of the first four books (never mind that I read it in volume 2 which was confused me into into skipping the second book). And feelings, so many feelings.

more murderbot mayhem, good times

4 stars

Confusingly, I read this third murderbot installment in a book including #3 and #4 but titled volume 2 so, I missed the actual #2 and I'm already reading this series out of order. But still, this is fun, and there are more bots, lots and lots of bots.
