A mostly satisfying conclusion to this novella series, wherein Murderbot gets back together with the band, so to speak, takes out the baddies once and for all, and almost gets wiped out completely, only to recover and take some time to figure out what comes next. Action-packed as the previous novellas, and I like these original clients quite a bit, so I'm glad to spend more time with them.

I was a little sad that this was the end of these books, but then I looked it up and it turns out there are two existing full-length novels featuring Murderbot and ART, and another novel on the way, so maybe after I finish a few book club reads I'm overdue on, will check the next one out.

3 stars for the actual story, but I really am enjoying this series a lot more than my rating indicates. I just thought this one was a little rushed.

(I know Murderbot is neither male nor female, but I kind of picture them as a semi-organic Lisbeth Salander. It's fitting, I think.)
