System Collapse by Martha Wells
3.0

Murderbot is back, and while they are not in fighting form, they are still gunning and punning. The relationships Murderbot keeps forming are all wonderful. It was a quick, easy read that was a bit heavyhanded with some of it's GET IT? IT'S MURDERBOT features. As much as I love Murderbot the character, Wells sometimes relies too heavily on repetition for characterization. Also, I cannot tell you what happens in these books to make it so the plots and, like, 75% of all the side characters just leak out of my head, but alas. As soon as I'm done, the plot is immediately forgotten. And this added even! more! side characters! So, you know.
