We learnt a bit more about his past, when he killed his crew and that it might have been sabotage. It had some cool badass moments too.

I love Murderbot! I might have liked this one even more than the first one because we could skip the set up and jump right in. He’s working out how to become a proper person in this one, and to be his own free agent with no owner or boss. I liked ART and hope they come back. I liked seeing him work out how to interact with people. I liked that they were nice and that he liked his humans.

to read.
Also having the weird not nazi party going after the christens instead of the Jews was a weird choice and just felt a bit wrong. Overall a very weird and confusing jumble of a book with a terrible ending.

like Claire didn’t know things that she should have if she were Carfax all along. And it felt almost weirdly homophobic in how they handled the romance, like it’s ok Leo isn’t really gay when he kissed Carfax because it turned out to be a woman all along. Yeah but he didn’t know that. And him liking Claire because of how much she reminded him of her ‘brother’ Carfax was just kinda weird and uncomfortable

had a weird abrupt open ending. And what the hell was The Rat character all about? A feral girl lives in the walls and we’re just never really going to address that? Ok. And fuck Simon I guess, who Leo briefly helps and then just leaves to his own devices to also hide in the walls!The big twist of Claire being Carfax was dumb and felt like a decision made later considering the perspectives didn’t match up it’s

great, he was a bit of a coward. And Claire just sucked! She was so fucking combative it was painful to read any time they had an interaction like Jesus Christ woman just listen to the words he’s actually saying. So. Much. Miscommunication, between pretty much everyone so that every conversation was exhausting to read or uncomfortable. I stuck with it to see if it picked up but it really didn’t, and then it just

simultaneously doing maths equations? Maybe?! I don’t know, because they never once actually clear that up, yet it’s supposed to be the lynchpin of this entire story?!This was such a weird story, it was all over the place and none of the characters were particularly likeable so I didn’t super care what happened to them. I didn’t mind Leo, especially in his journal entries from the past, but he still wasn’t

Wow, this was complete and utter garbage. I have no idea what I even just read. So much of it was just words really, didn’t mean anything to me! I still have no bloody clue what the grand jue even is. I think it was a mix of maths, music and worship but I have no idea how the fuck you’re supposed to either write it down or perform it and yet seemingly they do? Is it a weird interpretative dance whilst

Super quick read but I really enjoyed this. I really liked Murderbot, I loved how awkward he was with the humans and that all he wants is to just watch his tv shows in peace. I liked that he ended up liking his group of scientists, calling them his favourite humans. But I also get why he had to leave them at the end. Super interesting narrator. Keen to read more.

the story. I thought Frida and Rufus were interesting characters too and would be keen to see where they go in the series. Jai breaking out of the prison at the end was badass, he’s really coming into his own. Keen to read more.

but a little sad too to see how the events really changed him. His relationship with Winter was unbelievably precious, definitely my favourite part of the story. They just unconditionally loved each other so much and it was really sweet. There was a lot him growing his magic storage without actually having a lot of cool magic which was a bit boring but I get it, they’re setting up the magic system for the rest of

This was pretty brutal, the coup at the start was particularly intense. The prince just wiping every one out, including his brothers was so sad.I thought his relationship with the old emperor was interesting, to be the carer for your fathers killer, and the fact that they did form something of a bond anyway.I thought jai was an interesting character and it was cool to see how much he grew over the course of the book

The ending was just so so awful, I think it might have actually ruined the whole series for me, which is a shame.

family and their descendants, sure no problem. And him adopting those two random boys was so weird. Zofia, Enrique and Hypnos possibly being a threesome was so weird too and unnecessary, I feel like their seperate relationships had played out well to be Zofia and Enrique together and Hypnos as a friend but then he’s just weirdly raising children with them, like ok?

technology take over, how utterly garbage is that. Cool beans everything’s a bit shitter now, because we literally had magic and now we don’t. And what the hell was with Laila beginning a weird guardian thing and Severin just being immortal until the 1990s? I say with 100% confidence that no one wanted that! This man who historically can’t handle grief at all is now just fine with outliving all his friends and

place, just accept that she’s a unique little snowflake and move on I guess. I feel like after book one the author didn’t really know what to do with Hypnos so he was just kinda there this book.
The ending was divergent level bad! Why have the big magic they’ve been working towards the whole series be to unmake the world building you’ve established?They changed the world by removing forging magic and letting

you’re pissed but big picture there’s some more important shit happening, and let the more man get a word in so he can actually apologise. So over Laila’s little woe is me pity party too, she didn’t actually contribute anything the whole book, just lamented that she’s dying and somehow that’s everyone else’s problem.And I guess we’re just never gonna expand on my she’s a forged person in the first

What an utterly ridiculous and disappointing ending to this series. Overall this book was just alright, but that ending?! What the hell was that!! The miscommunication set up from the get go with Laila destroying the recording and hating Severin just irritated me so much. And Laila and Enrique being pissy with Severin until the last quarter of the book was just so annoying and frustrating to read, like I get it
