Exit Strategy

Executive Summary: A great finish to a really fun series. I'm not a fan of the new novella trend, but this series has shown that it can work really well.

Audiobook: Kevin R. Free once again does a great job with the narration. I hope they bring him back for the novel, because he's become the voice of Murderbot to me.

Full Review
If I'm being honest, I feel like the price point for novellas is a lot higher than you get with a typical novel. I've been spoiled by getting doorstopper fantasy novels of over 1000 pages for less than $20. The average audiobook I consume is roughly 15-20 hours. That makes picking up a book that is less than 4 hours for more than a few dollars seem overpriced.

So why do I bring this up? Well I enjoyed this series so much that I went out and bought it anyways because I didn't want to keep waiting for 3rd and 4th installments to be on sale. This series is a lot of fun and it really fit my mood. You get a good blend of humor and action and very light on the science making it my type of Sci-Fi.

This books brings back some familiar supporting characters that had me engaged right from the beginning. It also did a great job in wrapping up some of the major plot points of the series where you could happily end with this installment, but you'll be glad to pick up another one later.

Thankfully the sequel novel has already been announced and I'm really excited for a full serving of Murderbot. I really enjoyed this series and I'll be picking that up on day one.
