![]() ![]() I've read a few sci-fi books that really struggle to make the world believable because there's often so much to take in - the Murderbot diaries does this in a way that reads easily and lightly. There's so many things I enjoyed about this series: it's a sci-fi that doesn't really require you to understand all the ins and outs of the political systems that exist in the world. In fact, the Murderbot ends with that huge question of: what do you want. The third and fourth pull together all the previous adventures into an overarching story that we see Murderbot learning about itself and struggling with the the concepts of emotions and desires. The first book reads easily as a stand alone, and I'd say the second book does too. ![]() ![]() The series follows Murderbot, a rouge security unit, mostly good at killing but who would rather just watch TV and be left alone. I read the first installment of the Murderbot a few months back (as an Amazon single), but after reading it, I decided I was going to pony up the £8 for the following 3 books - although probably the most I've spent on a single book, let alone 3 books - absolutely totally worth it. ![]()
