I'll be honest - I can't remember much from the previous books, especially not any details about the many human characters. But MurderBot is such a fun person to listen to talk, it doesn't really matter.
In her acknowledgements, Jemisin says she finished this book out of "sheer bloody minded stubbornness", and it shows. The book feels more like a rant, with simplistic politics and a black and white view of the world, lacking any shred of nuance (all white straight people are racists, all cops are evil, all immigrants are kind hearted). It's tiring, and a couples of times I was ready to DNF this book. Sorry I didn't. This book was better left unwritten, even if it meant leaving the first book hanging off a cliffhanger.
