Murderbot
5 stars
Decided to reread Murderbot diaries due to finding the @murderbotbot@botsin.space account. I've really missed good dark humor.
Mainly Sci-Fi, some Fantasy and similar. Almost always audiobooks.

I liked this the same as the first book in the series. A lot more comfortable to read now that I have a handle on the characters and general plot direction from the first book. There are new characters, but they're all reasonably connected now. It's a nice comfortable pace too, kept me interested and guessing what would happen next.
I loved Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series, and when this book was released, I'm not sure what I read or heard, but I was turned off of it. When I heard of a third book in this series being released, I took a look another look at it.
I found it quite enjoyable, though it was a little rough to follow so many characters, each with their own widely varying cultures right out of the gate. The framing of the story (as told by a bard) was an interesting perspective, I liked it. I expected an epilogue, as I found the story ended quickly, and left a bunch of loose ends (though there are two more books..)
