More Murderbot! This is the final novella of four, and it's the one that finally reunites Murderbot with its clients/people/FRIENDS from the first novella. I found the first couple of chapters of this pretty dry, I have to say--a lot of setup and well-voiced internal monologue, but for me these stories really take off as soon as we see Murderbot have to interact with bots or people or both. But the rescue mission to save Mensah is great, and watching it figure out what's going on and having to deal with emotions is always my favorite things. I also really liked the continuation of Murderbot's transformation into a being that is distinct from SecUnits, and then the process of it rebuilding itself after it almost deleted itself in a last ditch effort to save the day was great. I'm really excited to read the full novel now!
