Better than the last few: more heart, more humor. Fun moments, and moving ones, but overall I found it tedious. Lots of rushing around into and out of danger, way too much jumping from one setting to the next, overly described, novelty for its own sake but adding nothing to the story. The initial premise was questionable, characters' motivations unrelatable. No tension: Murderbot just hacks any security system, jams enemy comms, and out-reflexes all physical beings. Tight timing? Outnumbered? No problem, Deus ex machina is just around the corner.
Promising hints that the next book might be SecUnit Settles Down, Joins Mensah's Polycule With ART Too, and They Raise Smart Compassionate Kids Who Save The World(s). Sign me up for that one.
