All Systems Red by Martha Wells

Okay, I had some idea of what I was getting into, but I DID NOT expect to get so invested in Murderbot. I genuinely laughed at Murderbot's thoughts and his point of view absolutely fascinated me. How they view the world and their relatable desire to escape their reality of being a robot whose job is to, well, murder. And how "his" humans treated him made me both laugh and cringe from the sheer awkwardness that pours out of Murderbot to a hilarious degree. Overall, I 100% want to read the rest of the series and am very impressed by how fast this short novella got me invested in Murderbot's life. I am excited to see how the world and Murderbot's experiences will expand as the series goes on! Really glad I picked this up!!
