So this is probably the best series I've read in years. How good is it? Well, I've listened to all the books on audio (and I highly recommend doing the series that way because the narrator just embodies Murderbot's voice so well), and then my book club picked it for the May book of the month. So I thought, whelp, I guess I'll just read it in print then. We're talking weeks between rereads, and I regret nothing. They are that enjoyable. It's like the badass version of Marvin the Paranoid Android. I literally couldn't ask for more.
Note, this is book 5 of the series but the first full-length novel. My book club chose to start here, and I'm sure you could enjoy the series starting here, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice. If you like one, you'll want to read them all, and they would be much better enjoyed in chronological order. Plus the first book is a tiny novella, so you aren't investing much if it's not your cup of tea. It will be though. It will be the best cup of tea you've ever had.
