Synopsis: It has a dark past – one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself “Murderbot." But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more.

Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don’t want to know what the “A” stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.

What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks.

My rating: ★★★★⯪

Ah! I love Murderbot! In this next installment, Murderbot returns to the place where all the murders happened to once and for all figure out what actually happened. This whole incident is so freaking sad, and it makes me feel for Murderbot.


It's a good Murderbot and nobody can change my mind 😆 I just relate to them, okay? They just want to watch their shows and not interact with humans. Lol.


Honestly, same 😆 Humans suck. Lol. But its just so freaking sarcastic and I love it! I love following Murderbot in these adventures!

Speaking of, Murderbot gets itself an assignment as a cover, and even though it was kind of a side plot, I found it very interesting. I love that despite this, Murderbot takes the safety of its clients very seriously, thus again proving my point that it is a good Murderbot. Lol.

I really enjoyed this, though. It was fun! I adore Murderbot and the fact that it (unwillingly) made a friend in the transport bot 😂 We also found out some very interesting things about The Incident, and even why Murderbot decided to leave Dr. Mensah and her crew. Man, I love Murderbot. I can’t wait to read the next one!
