Platform Decay (mild spoilers)
5 stars
This is a bit of a "default" Murderbot story, where some of the last books had a way more confusing storyline. (It's also a bit of a repetition (threatening murderbots' humans to get it to rescue other humans)). The outline of what's supposed to happen is known quite early and murderbot is doing murderbot things the murderbot way, as we all love it. The interactions with humans were exquisite, probably even better than in the last books. Often funny, pretty emotional this book, generally good. Murderbot hating that torus this book is set in becomes a running gag but isn't overdone.
Some characters I liked a lot were returning and played roles with different levels of satisfaction (RIP). Also some interesting new(ish) characters. I want to see more of Naya!

Murderbot has a new module doing emotional checks which had some moments but didn't do so much for me in general. Though it's been accompanied by some more of it's thoughts about it's mental health which I liked.
