handyopf.blogg.se - Murderbot 5

By the time I’m reviewing this book, I will have already read it both ways and I did enjoy reading it the first time through in publication order, and on re-read, by chronological order. Technically, the events of this book take place AFTER book 6, Fugitive Telemetry, but I think it’s fine to read this in chronological or publication order. Most people just want to know when ART is back, and enough people have talked about it where I feel like it’s not a secret anymore.

There’s still plenty of Murderbot shenanigans and we see ART again!!! I don’t think that’s a spoiler really. I wouldn’t even say the story drags, but I just found my mind wandering off for some reason. It’s a full-length novel, and I really enjoyed the story, but I definitely had to split out reading this one with a break in-between because it’s double the length of any other Murderbot book so far. Well, when you compare it to the other books so far anyways. When Murderbot’s human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action. I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are. You know that feeling when you’re at work, and you’ve had enough of people, and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go home and binge your favorite shows? And you’re a sentient murder machine programmed for destruction? Congratulations, you’re Murderbot.Ĭome for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable A.I.
