Review: Network Effect, by Martha Wells

Feature length Murderbot - the journey to novella from short story worked very well for this entry in the series!
As always, Murderbot is delightfully awkward and also kinda right more often than he should be. Kevin R Free does a fantastic job capturing the voice, particularly a dripping sarcasm that really fits the character.
I enjoyed seeing , and learning more about , though I think we’ll learn even more in future entries!
The difference between software and hardware conflicts was really interesting. And the world of The Murderbot Diaries continues to impress with depth but still remaining laser focused on the current plot.
Murderbot’s allergy to the word is hilarious, even though it’s totally accurate. It’s also nice to see him
Overall, strong recommend, I look forward to the next entries in this series!
