Book Review: Network Effect

06/04/2025

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.
