Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m all in on this series

Everyone's favorite construct is back in action and this entry in the series dives even further down the rabbit hole of human emotion and experience through their eyes. While Murderbot may not be or want to be fully human, their pesky cloned human neural tissue still experiences things like trauma, and they've got to learn to deal with it.

This is another absolute delight of a story that left me simultaneously satisfied, but still wanting more!

More Murderbot for my new #audiowalk book. I‘m used to the 3 hour ones — Network Effect is over 12!

Once again, I found myself completely drawn into the world of my favorite socially anxious construct!

This time, Murderbot gets to head up the investigation of an actual murder, and does so with their usual delightfully snarky commentary.

Great pacing, fun characters, and a satisfying ending: overall another all around fun entry to this beloved series!

I am unsure if this is just a US thing but this is very cool. WCK is a fantastic organization, if you have been thinking of getting some Martha Wells this is a great time!

I‘m on board for this series of novellas! This installment did not disappoint.

I snuck in a Murderbot 🤖❤️🩶🤍
This one was something of a murder mystery 🫆 & I enjoyed it, but it didn't have quite the same degree of characterisation, and being set in a place we've come to know fairly well, Preservation Station, there was little exploration of strange new worlds. It definitely wasn't bad, it just didn't strike the same chord for me as the previous books. Still a pick, & I'm looking forward to reading the next, & final, book.

For anyone who doesn't have the Murderbot Diaries (incl. two short stories) and five of Martha Wells's fantasy novels yet, here's your chance: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/martha-wells-murderbot-and-more-tor-books

All Systems Red & Artificial Condition (Murderbot Diaries 1 & 2), by Martha Wells (2017-18)—RE-READS
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: A cyborg designed to be a weapon of mass destruction but who really just wants to ignore the world and watch their shows struggles to adjust to a new life situation.

Review: Murderbot Diaries is one of my favourite series, so when I recently wanted some easy listens on a vacation, I was excited to revisit these novellas. ⬇️

4/5⭐
Murderbot. Filled with fun.
#6 takes us back to novellas. In this one It is going to solve a murder. I still struggle a bit with secondary characters, but love the fast clipping pace and the rye sarcasm. It's just a good quick fun time.
