A whole new Murderbot story, exciting and at times a bit confusing - but keeping up with Murderbot with only human processing capabilities is not easy, of course. I loved the story and especially the character development of several of the characters. This novel surprises you constantly. It's fast paced, funny and sometimes even a bit emotional (only awkwardly, of course). A really great read!

PSA: The excellent #murderbot series by Martha Wells is available as a Humble Bundle right now, all 7 books in the series + 7 short stories and other novels. DRM-free epub files. Highly recommended.

"Despite being a powerful and lethal security unit, Murderbot is an extreme introvert. Its primary goal is to be left alone so it can spend its time watching hours of its favorite soap operas and other media. It's highly cynical, sarcastic, and finds human interaction to be awkward and tedious. However, it also finds itself unexpectedly forming bonds with the humans it's supposed to protect, which leads to a lot of internal conflict and reluctant heroism."

enitsirhc rated Child of Light: 1 star
enitsirhc stopped reading Child of Light by Terry Brooks
Well, I tried but I don't like it. There's a 19 year old girl, breaking out of a dreadful prison, where she was forced to work under threat of being eaten by goblins. She doesn't remember what was before, doesn't remember her parents or anything and grew up in this prison. The book is written in first person perspective and then she uses phrases like "invasive conviction" or she thinks about "how did we Humans come to be so disdained and marginalized that subjugating us like cattle became our future?" I'm really sorry but that doesn't fit for me. Apart from the language, there is nearly no atmosphere, events keep happening and circumstances change, but really aprubtly and not that plausibly. I stopped reading at only 66 pages -maybe it gets much better, but my patience has run out.

This book felt like it wanted to be too much. At least for me, it was a bit tedious to read, too many interwoven stories and metaphors. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood, but reading it seemed like work.

enitsirhc reviewed Last Gifts of the Universe by Riley August
Archeology in Space
4 stars
A gripping story of two siblings that are archeologists in space, searching dead alien civilisations for data about the entity that seemed to have destroyed all civilisations in space but their own. It's also about giving up vs. doing your best, about love and compassion and savoring the moment. While the story works well and it's a great read, all the time I was thinking: all of this didn't need to happen if there were backups.
