Review:
This book took the series in a different direction then where i thought it was going. I should have seen it coming truethfully, but I didn't. Best part of this book is we got to see more of ART. ART isn't as docile as we where made to think in previous books. Murderbot & ARTS relationship is a good one in my opinion, and which I would label as them acting 'like an old married couple'.
I didn't see Murderbot falling in love, but I suppose the suspicion was there in 4.5, which I have yet to read. It was out of left field for me and I am sure that it was due to me not reading 4.5 yet.
I did see Murderbot eventually freeing another SecUnit. I am excited to see what becomes of those SecUnits if it is ever written about in future books.
Goodreads Description:
It calls itself Murderbot, but only when no one can hear.
It worries about the fragile human crew who've grown to trust it, but only where no one can see.
It tells itself that they're only a professional obligation, but when they're captured and an old friend from the past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action.
Drastic action it is, then.
