Carmichael Library Sci-Fi (Virtual) Book Club discussion

Since it ends up the new Murderbot book is short, combined with a couple of people having already finished it, I am just throwing up a single discussion thread for the entire novella. Discuss away!

Loved it. It read like a murder mystery.

Great Murder mystery but not a very good murderbot story. Maybe because it was short ( although first books were short) I thought there wasn’t enough saving humans in deadly scenarios, fighting rogue Bots, hacking into computers/ships then covering it up and watching space operas. I had really looked forward to this book but thought it was a pretty tame police procedural book and I really don’t care for police procedural books.

I suppose my perspective on this book is colored by the fact that I had just finished Network Effect right before I started on this one. I am liking how the author just keeps building on this idea of bots having feelings and relationships, too.
