I’m glad that I chose to give the Murderbot Diaries another chance, as this installment marks a satisfying return to the original PreservationAux crew. That sense of familiarity and continuity brought a depth I had missed in the previous volumes. My one reservation, however, is in the author’s constant use of slash-phrases. It read like she couldn’t settle on which wording worked best, so she just went with both, leaving the reader to pick their favorite.
