Picked up a collection of the first 4 books at my local library. It was a translation in German and I felt like at some points that it wasn't really that well translated like for example translating names which in my opinion should never be done.
I'm always quite certain that some of the humor didn't quite land because of the translation. But that being said it still gave me some quite good chuckle and I overall enjoyed my little journey through the Murderbot universe especially because I quite enjoyed the weirdness it its main character.
I think when I pick the next book up it will certainly be in English and then I will see how it compares. But I am pretty certain that it will be better.
