Not really related to the story, but I love that this series is narrated by Kevin from Welcome to Nightvale.
This one starts a little slow (full disclosure: however, I'm fresh off a reread through of Dungeon Crawler Carl and this would be extremely slow by comparison) but it does pick up around the half way mark.
By the point I was definitely intrigued and wanted to keep going. It's structured as a bit of a whodunnit and it's fascinating to see in what areas of personality Murder Bot has changed. It still is incredibly dry and sarcastic, but seems to be adapting more "human" attributes.
If you like the series, I say just push through.

After a slow 3rd book in the series, this 4th installment feels like a return to form and a breath of fresh air. I still feel like there was too much minutiae, and everything moved much too quickly to take it all in. Although, I really enjoyed the pacing and overall tone of this one. You can tell that things are really only just now getting started, and Carl, Donut, and the other crawlers are in for much, much worse. Overall, I really enjoyed this one and will reread the series at some point to pick up on other things I might have missed.
