I thought this one dragged a bit. The plot was just OK. A bit of plot armor here and there. The villain was overly villainous and pretty one dimensional. Still an enjoyable read, but not as good as the first three.

A solid ending to an above average series. I think the authors really landed this the best they could.

I particularly enjoyed Holden’s arc. Him coming full circle to make the moral sacrifice felt right. Having Amos be the representative of Sol system at the end felt like a bit of fan service to me. Overall Amos was kind of a blank slate. The bits of his background that we got over the course of the series were interesting but he still wasn’t that deep of a character.

That said I really enjoyed this series. As far as “epics” go I don’t think you can ask for much more.

This is a really fun book. I guess this is like a whole genre? I had no idea.

Ok so this feels like it’s going to be a lot deeper than it appears on the surface (I am sorry for the heavy handed pun - maybe I’m channeling this book a bit in my review!). In other words I’m quite intrigued where the world building is going to go.

I appreciate a story that gives you bits and pieces of knowledge for paying close attention to some of the details. Learning about the world is almost more interesting than learning about Carl.

I’m excited to see where the next one goes!

This one went faster and was a better read than the last one. I’m very interested to see where the story goes from here. I feel like they have all the pieces in place now to carry the story to the end. Looking forward to the next one!

Another great entry in the Murderbot series. I always get through these stories quickly then immediately want more.
