All Systems Red

For more of my reviews, check out my blog.

I wasn't sure what to expect from these books – I'd heard they were funny, and extremely well-written. I had a good time reading All Systems Red, but I'm not sure I'd call this particular book funny as a whole. Mostly, I felt bad for Murderbot. They had to pretend to like humans, they had to interact in a way that made them uncomfortable, and most of all, people kept making decisions for them. I know said people were trying to help Murderbot, but still. You shouldn't make decisions for someone else.

I did love the plot, and kept wondering what EXACTLY was on the planet that kept causing all the problems in the systems and y'know. The other stuff, which I won't spoil. I loved the reveal, but I do wish it had played a bigger role in at least one scene? Like maybe showing off exactly what had been left behind on the planet? Maybe?

Idk.

Either way, I really enjoyed this and will definitely be continuing onto the next books. I'll probably compile small reviews of all the books into one big review for my blog.
