Summary: Murderbot wasn’t programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right?
Carole and Blodeuedd have been blogging for a long while now. The last few years the epic duo has been discussing books, watching movies, and even wetting the pen and sharing their stories with the worldwide web. They both love cats, chocolate, and a good story.
Summary: Murderbot wasn’t programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right?
Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah—its former owner (protector? friend?)—submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit.
But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue?
And what will become of it when it’s caught?
Discussion:
I must say that this was my least favorite, frankly I was pretty bored most of the time.
Gah! Me too. The first couple of chapters I was really intrigued but then….I slowly started yawning and just waiting for it to end.
I was at page 60 or something and was all caught up in my own despair, why wont it eeeeeend!!! I am sorry but this really soured the series for me. There is a 5th, I have not even checked what it is about cos I do not care.
Right? I am tempted to say goodbye to our beloved bot. BUT I am willing to try the next one but I do worry.
You are kinder than I am, I am all bye bye Murderbot. There was nothing of Murderbot in this one. Where is that humour? It was just Murderbot being all blah. All those things that made the series fun were gone.
I think I chuckled once? Yea - the humour was gone and Murderbot was only badass once at the end which was cool, but it was so dry and there needed to be more.
I am sad, I’d say this was barely ok. I had to push through. Stuff happened, but nothing really happened.
Sighs...I miss ART. LOL
Where art thou Art!
ART HAS MY HEART! Murderbot...I am willing to try one more….but meh.
Number 5 is full length, FULL LENGTH?!?! What if it sucks? *cries*
UGGGGH. I think I would need to switch back to audio if that is the case. I did the ebook this time since my library had it. The narrator is good so maybe it’ll help??? Sighs.
I am weary, we could do 5, but how about a Murderbot break in November?
Maybe we just need a break. Yes. I am good for that. Maybe taking a break and then jumping back in will work. The heart grows fonder with a little separation. Lol Or they could bring ART back?
Break it is, and let’s hope Murderbot gets her groove back. Now to figure out what to read in November then…
Yes. *fingers crossed* We’ll find something. Maybe we can do something xmas-y ;)
I am all for xmassy
Woot!!! Soooo yes. This was my least favorite of the series. It was not funny and Murderbot seemed off this time around. Bummer overall for me.
Disappointing. Sloooow.
Super sad. I have hope for the next.
The end?
The end my friend! Until next time.

Bummer it was so slow and mild for you both. But, based on something you both wished for badly in your convo, don't give up. Give the next book a go after your Christmasy break. :)
Exit next!
