Fugitive Telemetry

Maybe I binged this series too quickly? Maybe I'm burnt out on Murderbot? I dunno, man. But this one was the worst of the novellas for me. Or I should say, least compelling. I did like the murder mystery aspect of it, it felt different, but something just felt missing. As much as Murderbot is obviously the core of this series, I think Wells maybe needs to spend some time in the next installment really giving Murderbot some compelling side characters. I do not give a damn about anybody that isn't Murderbot, and that's a problem.

I did like the shorter nature of this one, in contrast to Network Effect, which felt very bloated. I'm curious to see where Martha Wells takes the story, maybe by the time the next one comes out, I will be fully on board the Murderbot train once again.
