A less successful entry, mostly because SecUnit is depressed for the majority of the novella. The [redacted] impacts every decision, and we feel the pain as Murderbot misses crucial clues and second-guesses actions and thoughts. It’s also overly complex with multiple human factions and competing loyalties, none of which we care too much about. In the end the reader feels as bogged down as our hero.
