Very well through out action and adventure story for Murderbot. I like how we continue to get peeks into his psyche and motivations and learn more about what makes him tick. And what can make him stop ticking too... We find out he is still a bot but a very complex thinking and feeling box that doesn't want to be human, but might become a little more human every day. Nice story!

I liked how this book progressed and evolved. Murderbot is still itself but you can see it learning more and trying to be less like a Secbot, even though that's impossible. But the story has a great plot and characters, a few twists, and some suspense that kept me reading through the end. Nice continuation of the story!

I enjoyed this progression of the story as Murderbot goes on a bit of an adventure and finds a side-job. There was a bit of backstory reveal, some new characters, and a little deeper view of Murderbot's new life. I liked it and found it interesting and full of action.

This book was different than anything I've read in a while. It is complex, emotional, and plays out in different perspectives and goals. It's hard to describe but it's nothing like The Expanse. The story started out a little bit confusing and it was not what I thought it would be, and yet it evolved into something I felt was amazing. It's written in complex layers much like Stephen King's elaborate story weaving. I wanted so bad to love it at 5 stars but I finish this book wanting to read it again for better understanding. It was amazing, really, but it will take some time to digest it all. I think it boils down to a scenario and species that is so different from anything I've internalized before from a book.

This story is awesome though I didn't find myself enjoying it as much as the first of the series. Something about it seemed off - there was an emergency every few pages it seemed and some of the story felt rushed. Regardless, the story is interesting and the physics is mind-blowing. The monolith is an object made by some long-lost civilization out of neutron star material and it leads to some amazing story telling. I like this book, but I am hoping the third of the series advances the story in a more detailed way.
