I read this and I loved it. Or at least the first one.

Read them all so far and really enjoyed them. Hmm I should see if there is another one out yet.

A series of 4 novellas that, in total length, are probably about the length of a longish novel. I enjoyed the first two, but when I realized that I was essentially paying $40 for a single novel, I decided to wait to get them in a collected edition instead.

You jest, but I have never felt so understood as I did reading Murderbot.

I love those books (and wouldn’t daily-driving power armor with a reflective face shield be just, i dunno, awesome?!?). They’re enjoyable as audiobooks, too.

This. They are stupid expensive for the length they are.
I’ve read all of them. The first is the best, but they’re all excellent reads. I heart murderbot!
I have to agree. I have the first one in paperback but I got the rest of them through the library.
Having said that, these were a lot of fun (as were the Raksura books in a different way). I have read that she’s writing a Murderbot novel and if so I’m definitely looking forward to it.

I’ll have to give this a shot. It sounds right up my alley. Thank you.
These are quirky and fun. My only “complaint” is that they are all a bit short and I wanted more. One of my favorite reads of last year.
Murderbot is fantastic x4!
Sadly, yes. Great books, but they are overpriced novellas. Defiantly something I’d recommend finding at one’s local public library - fortunately the series is high enough profile that it can actually be found at many libraries.
