Book 5 of the Murderbot series. The first book of the series where we are starting out with a new adventure. I think what made this book fun was two things; the return of ART and the conversion of a new sec-unit to having no governor module. I did also enjoy the alien tech and the battle on the planet with that tech. We got a deeper sense of how the corporation system works.
The relationship with Amena pushes Murderbot through dealing with adolescence and I liked that. He doesn’t understand kids and his non-familiarity is humorous. As a full book, I actually enjoyed the deeper story. Again, these are just fun. Episodic.
