What are the odds that my 100th written review 🪩 (according to Goodreads) ends up being for the final book in my favorite series? Screaming. Crying. Gnawing at the bars of my cage. I'm nine books deep, and I still can't get enough, and THAT says enough.

We continue on straight from "Network Effect" and Murderbot has to continue its internal conflict with redacted trauma. Love the non-human approach to trauma and its influences and echoes going forward. It's comforting to see someone unravel themselves and re-evaluate their whole being (ok, Murderbot kind of does that every day, but you get what I mean). Don't forget the humor and wit; it really puts the fun in misery. 

The main plot revolves around the planet and its' colony's future, but I think there was a nice balance between the actions of the story and the inner conflicts of Murderbot. Best of both worlds. And best of ART. (Can you hear the heart eyes?) Gosh, I just love Murderbot & ART's banter, especially how their relationship continues to grow. 
It was also interesting to see Murderbot kind of pulled away from the usual setting and put into another complex/stressful situation with new people. Seems like Murderbot is branching out from its beginnings and growing its circle. Another iconic hit that ended in a way that had me in a chokehold. Makes me hopeful and excited for the future installments!
