This is book #6 in the Murderbot series (yes, I accidentally skipped #5, I’m circling back to that), and I’m afraid I didn’t like this as much as the others.
The whole investigation felt a bit rushed and, though the final twist is interesting in itself, it felt a bit of a repetition of schemes we already saw unravelling in previous stories. I always like the inner voice and the interaction between characters, but this almost felt like filler, though it’s nice to see our favourite Murderbot gaining the trust of other people in Preservation Alliance, and the complex panorama of social inequalities in the Corporate Rim having actual, tangible effects with other players trying to counteract it.
