Artificial Condition

For more of my reviews, check out my blog.

It's been probably close to a year since I read the first Murderbot novella, but I found that it didn't matter much here. Each of these stories seem to be self-contained. You don't HAVE to have read the first one in order to understand this one, but you'll definitely have more enjoyment of it if you do! All the mentions of what happens in the first book are explained enough that I think you could get by just fine. But why wouldn't you want to read the first one? These are so short and so much fun.

Good news is, I still love Murderbot, and I still feel so so bad for them. What a life. Constantly either doing what someone else orders you to, or completely on the run. I also really loved ART though I did worry for a bit that ART was going to betray them. Thankfully, that does not happen, and they have a weird sort of construct friendship. I frequently found myself wanting to shake Murderbots employers in this particular novel. What stupid decisions! Seriously! The whole book!

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and will definitely be continuing the series when I can!
