Ugh I was so scared that this couldn’t end well but Hadeer Elsbai absolutely delivered. My only complaint is that the gods’ lore is SO SO cool, but we see so little of it. I absolutely loved every little bit that we got, I just wish there had been more. However I do also love that this book has consistent conversations about the necessity of violence under oppression.

I absolutely love the lessons of this book! It is such a good middle grade horror, and addresses such topics as facing your fears, standing up for yourself, racism, and the importance of knowing your history.

I’ve been told I would love this, and boy were you right Tif. Murderbot is a partially-organic security unit for a survey team on another planet. It has hacked its own software and has secretly gone rogue, but still does its job because it likes its humans. There is a thriller/mystery element, and Murderbot is so incredibly relatable. Some might not, but I personally absolutely loved the ending and I’m very curious to learn more about this futuristic sci-fi world. I will definitely be continuing the series (they are quick reads; the audiobooks are only about three hours each)
