Wanted a change of pace so I read a thriller / crime novel for the first time in quite a while. The book started pretty action-packed but then slowed down in the first third and lost me for a couple of weeks which means that it took me a while to finish.

After giving it another shot it managed to hook me and the conclusion to the plot lines was satisfying but felt a little bit rushed. But the main two characters are really likable even if they’re a bit cliche. Also everyone seems to sleep with everyone in this book, lol.

I’m now already reading the next one in the main trilogy and I’m liking it even more than this one - it’s definitely a page turner.

This book is written from the perspective of a security bot (in a science fiction setting) which managed to become independent. The book follows its thoughts now that it has to deal with social awkwardness, its pessimistic worldview and the human clients on whose mission it has to protect them.

Murderbot has such a fun personality, constantly complaining about not being able to spend its time watching entertainment shows and trying avoiding any interaction with humans.

Really cute concept and overall a lighthearted and very short book so it was easy to finish. I’ll probably give the other books in the series a shot! Would definitely recommend it!
