Exit Strategy

The hype for Murderbot really got me off on the wrong foot with this series. I never disliked it, but after All Systems Red, I was just flabbergasted why it was so popular. My 3 star rating for that one is probably unfair; I will maybe increase it on a re-read. Each novella was amusing and interesting, but never had enough substance to fully get me on board.

This one, by itself, didn't either, although it was better. But this one is easily the best of the four novellas because it incorporates elements of the previous novellas more and it seems like the emotional crux of a four book arc. It's also the only one of the four to make me fully laugh out loud, although the other three all made me smirk and chuckle several times.

Perhaps I just crave more from each installment of Murderbot. If so, I should look no further, because the age of the Novella is over. The time of the Full-Novel has begun!
