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 vessal 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...

Feels interstitial

I think anything I could say about this book I could say about the previous ones in the series. Enjoyable, endearing, and with a sort of cultured, high-pulp feel.
Maybe it's because I started reading the Murderbot series with a much later entry, and so I know where the titular SecUnit ends up; because this story feels like it is a slice in the crescent of a larger arc, where nothing particularly groundbreaking is revealed.
Really good. I liked it a lot and have already started on the next one.

Good one, but way to short
4 stars
So, I finished this one the same day that I started it, the book was pretty good, writing decent, but it feels like it ended without really getting satisfying, I had fun reading it, but then it was suddenly over when it felt it was still in the beginning of it, it was a good first fourth of a book.

back to murderbot
4 stars
about a year since I read the first book, and a TV show in between it was time to pick up murderbot again. took me a bit of time to get into it, but once I was the book was finished in the day. enjoyed being back in murderbots head, the interactions with ART are great. just wished the climax would have been drawn out a little longer!

The relationship between Murderbot and ART was one of the most adorable and hilarious things I've read recently. Hoping they get to meet again in the future.

Et soudainement, le robot assassin devint queer
4 stars
J'avais apprécié le tome 1 de l'Assassynth comme un bon page turner et une personnalité atypique pour une IA rogue dans la SF. Le tome 2 offre l'opportunité d'étendre un peu plus l'univers dans lequel Assassynth évolue, et de lae voir relationner avec des humains et d'autres machines. Et c'est à la fois très drôle et relatable. On ne s'imagine pas un assassin avoir de l'anxiété sociale, et pourtant! Et il y a de la queerness à laquelle je ne m'attendais pas du tout, c'est validé! Côtés points négatifs, certains concepts et noms mériteraient d'être explicités (c'est quoi un MedSys, la différence entre synthétique, bot, augmenté, humain, et pourquoi un killware ça fonctionne sur l'un et pas sur l'autre???); et il ne se passe finalement pas énormément de choses. Ce tome a ravivé mon intérêt pour la série en tout cas.

I'm not enjoying this as deeply as the first time and I'm getting distracted a lot, but it's rly nice still. I love ART.

Murderbot is such a fun character. Never thought a construct could be so relatable but it’s just the cutest. I love when it gets bewildered by humans.
