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.

Bittersweet end for now of the murderbot diaries
5 stars
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.

Another delicious morsel
5 stars

Finally a full length murderbot book
5 stars
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.
