Apparently, one benefit of joining the Kansas City Public Library is this “Lucky Day” feature. I am not one to read “popular” books very often (the ones churned out by authors whose names appear on book covers in bigger font than the title 🙄) but perusing through the offerings, I found a Martha Wells! Squeeeeeeeeeeee
pickI love Murderbot, and this book was no exception. We get a new character, 3, who I hope to see again. I like where Wells is headed with the ending of this installment. Started Connie Wells‘ Blackout as my new #audiowalk book.
Murderbot just needs to accept that he‘s got emotions. Someone suggests that he and Art are friends (which they are) and that idea offends him quite deeply. #audiowalk
Yay, Art! I think. Art‘s a little ambiguous in this book. #audiowalk
I‘ve been sick with bronchitis for the last week, so I haven‘t been walking. Today was my first walk in over a week. I‘ve had a little trouble getting into Network Effect until today. Now I‘m enjoying it. #audiowalk
pickI‘m all in on this series
pickEveryone's favorite construct is back in action and this entry in the series dives even further down the rabbit hole of human emotion and experience through their eyes. While Murderbot may not be or want to be fully human, their pesky cloned human neural tissue still experiences things like trauma, and they've got to learn to deal with it.
This is another absolute delight of a story that left me simultaneously satisfied, but still wanting more!
More Murderbot for my new #audiowalk book. I‘m used to the 3 hour ones — Network Effect is over 12!
pickOnce again, I found myself completely drawn into the world of my favorite socially anxious construct!
This time, Murderbot gets to head up the investigation of an actual murder, and does so with their usual delightfully snarky commentary.
Great pacing, fun characters, and a satisfying ending: overall another all around fun entry to this beloved series!
