adventurous mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I listened to the dramatized adaptation of this novella and wow - it was something else.
I love the concept of a murderbot who wants to protect the humans it likes but would also just rather binge his tv shows and never be interrupted. True introvert core, hehe.

The worldbuilding is well done and very intriguing so I'll probably continue with this series because it left me wanting more. This is very high sci-fi though and I was multitasking while listening to the audiobook so I'd suggest paying full attention to this one, especially if you're not used to high sci-fi.

But yeah, I loved Murderbot's personality and I really liked the messages it carried and stayed true to. Excited to read the next book in the series!
