Network Effect

This is the first full-length Murderbot novel, and it's a tiny bit tonally different. The previous installments had such low page-counts that Wells almost had to rush through at breakneck speed just to get the whole story in, and the longer length allowed for more time with Murderbot getting to interact with the humans in its crew and solving un-murderable problems, and made for a more complicated adventure story with a slightly less breakneck pace. Plus much more with ART as its real self, and Murderbot having to handle the fact that it is not a lone wolf, and handle the problems with its and ART's relationship. I really appreciated the longer length, and this is my favorite installment so far, even though WHOA did this get complicated at the end, and I sometimes had to flip back to make sure I had the story straight. (These stories have typically been told from Murderbot's POV, but at one point it cloned itself as software, and then convinced another bot to go rogue, and then there were three POVs and two of them were Murderbot?)

And the next book promises more ART and Murderbot, so that's what I'll be doing...
