I primarily listen to audiobooks using Libby, and sometimes Audible. Feel free to ask me about how I have 15 cards on Libby.

I like how much backstory we get in the fallen and the infinite, it doesn't feel as harsh as some other books with flash backs and feels evenly distributed

Sequel to The Outside (2019)
Pretty good! Unsure how I'm going to get the last book since it costs a credit on audible

Finished reading on Libby. An actual continuation of book 5 but now I'm disoriented from the plot from book 6. The voice actors were also different (I miss ART's old voice, it was easier for me to distinguish) from the previous graphic audio performance. Considering the book is more about the story and not the casting of the narrators, it's not a huge deal. There were definitely points in the second half of the book where it became a lot harder to keep track of why things were going on. I like that Murderbot's understanding of themselves is taking time to manifest slowly over these books, unlike in some sort of book that jumps ahead to now they know how to be a prophet of the good word. I like when it's slower and they mention the messy and impractical conflicts.

Finished reading on Libby. Was really confused because it's more of an episode in Murderbot's life but it's not a continuation of Book 5 directly. You can sort of guess where it is in the timeline but it felt like a harsh jump as if Murderbot has already been able to reconcile with the previous events. It's like if you jumped into Steven Universe future in the middle of Steven Universe. Like ok we like to get to see this and there's still work to be done here but what about the work we were just doing? Still fun to listen to, I was just confused.

Finished listening to this on Audible. It was pretty good. Between young adult and adult. Some funky characters that remind me of the Imperial Radch series. Had some qualms about how they designed the lover of the main character. A little put off by the white author. Sometimes the commentary on neurodivergence and ableism felt forced but it was still interesting and sometimes being blunt can be better.
I think it's silly that the first two audiobooks are free on Audible, but the last one requires a credit. Welp, there's always libby.
