This was disappointing. I went into this with high expectations and while I didn’t hate it, I was expecting a lot more. I liked Murderbot as a character but I didn’t really connect with it. I did not care for any of the side characters and felt like they were incredibly flat. Which is why it made no sense to me when Murderbot starts to care about them. This story lacks a lot of emotional depth. Perhaps it comes down to the quick pace and short book. The writing itself was a little hard to follow.

I hope later installments are better because this series gets a lot of praise.
