Executive Summary: This is yet another book I enjoyed this year whose details have now escaped me since listening to it earlier this year. As its likely to be one of my top reads I wanted to at least say something about it.

Audiobook: Kevin R. Free does his usual excellent job that makes this a must listen. He is the voice of Murderbot, so I'm glad they brought him back for the novel.

Full Review
I'm generally not a fan of novellas. I tend not to find them very satisfying and price per page/duration tends to be much higher than novels. One of the exceptions has been the Murderbot series. I got access to the ebooks for cheaper price, but still opted to spend the money on the audiobooks because I enjoyed them that much.

As with most things I listened to this year, most of the details now allude me and I regret not writing some thoughts at the time I completed it. I particularly enjoy the relationship of Murderbot and Art, so I was glad to see them return in this one.

My real main takeaways from this one was that I thought it transitioned well to full novel and that I'll be picking up the next one right away.
