I'd forgotten this one starts off near Cooma! Great tale with some excellent characters. I didn't work out the mystery until half way through and it had a cracking ending.

Started with a bang, then took a little while to get going but everything clicked into place as soon as I worked out what was going on. Well worth the re-read!

The lack of technology in the tale allows it to be more timeless than it otherwise would have. Good twisty plot and good character development. One line stuck out and should be removed if there is a later edition, but other wise it all held up pretty well.

Been over 30 years since I read all these multiple times. Be interesting to see how they hold up.

Nice wrapping up of lots of threads and more character development. Will have to wait impatiently for another tale in the universe and watch the TV show in the meantime.

The only problem with this literary universe is that there isn’t enough of it. This morsel had some great who done it plot lines along with new characters and character growth and of course the awesome jumbled up mess that is murderbot!

Still my favourite book series and I’m sad there are only 2 more left. Much longer full length tale with multiple moving parts and new characters to add to the universe.

I would love to get a longer viewpoint from others in the murderbot universe, hopefully Martha isn't too occupied with the TV show and has more time to write!

It's always tough finishing one of these as I know there is one less morsel to read of this fantastic series. In this episode, Murderbot finally gets back to the original crew and resolves (hopefully) the GreyCris problem. As always there is witty writing, good character development, and an engaging storyline.

Action packed episode of the diaries. Some more character development and the overarching story moves along nicely. Really punches you in the feels with that ending though…

More characters added to the universe, more character development, some juicy backstory filling in, and the usual good writing!

If you haven’t got into the murderbot universe you are in for a treat. Great characters, sharp humour, great plots, and bite sized morsels to snack on.
Love this series. Going to love re-reading them all for a third time before I watch the new TV show.
So much world building to get into this book. Didn’t really get grabbed by any of the major characters either. By the end I can see where the series might be heading, will probably read the next book when it comes out.

Nice to get the background of what made Marty Marty. Good twisty tale of the origins of Silicon Valley.
