"Martha Wells's Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling series, The Murderbot Diaries, comes to a thrilling conclusion in Exit Strategy. Murderbot wasn't programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah--its former owner (protector? friend?)--submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it's caught?"--provided by publisher.

Exit Strategy

4 stars

Maybe that was why I had been nervous about meeting Mensah again, and not all the other dumb reasons I had come up with. I hadn’t been afraid that she wasn’t my friend, I had been afraid that she was, and what it did to me.

The band is back together. I really like the way this fourth novella comes back around back to the Preservation Alliance folks that the books started with. It's fun to see Murderbot with the same people and in a similar protection role, but having a lot more agency.

Pin-Lee groaned and rubbed her face. "I'm almost glad you're here."

This is minor, but Pin-Lee also has some amazing moments here and finally gets to pull out her scary lawyering. I love the combination of how both angry at and yet how also protective of Murderbot she is.

I would like to thank Apple for introducing me to Murderbot even though I'm never going to pay them a dime to watch the show

5 stars

If murderbot was a film series each one would have a more spectacular effects budget, and this one is a fittingly spectacular climax to the arc of the first four books (never mind that I read it in volume 2 which was confused me into into skipping the second book). And feelings, so many feelings.

I <3 Murderbot

4 stars

My last re-read, I’m now caught up and the next Murderbot diary will be completely new to me. Exit Strategy is short and sweet, much like the other books. A situation involving old friends(?) sees Murderbot in more serious danger than they’ve faced before.

My favourite Murderbot—annoyed, unfiltered, swearing at humans to their face Murderbot—appears at the end of this book, and it is such a treat. In all honesty, I’d happily read anything involving Murderbot, I am such a fangirl. I <3 Murderbot, they’re literally my favourite SecUnit/bot/construct…person.

Review of 'Exit Strategy' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

I just don’t get tired of Murderbot as a character. Plus, now that the world building and characters are more established, it’s easier to follow the plot, which was something I found a little difficult in the first two books. I cannot wait to keep reading this series!
