Ok, so, this was a reread

and it was not the masterpiece I remember but it was still pretty good for a thriller, with serial killers, which I love.
I really like that we have the killer’s POV, and several POVs, presented in a way that you don’t know who they’re at times. Making the guess work really fun.
The main character is pretty cool, dealing with a lot of shit from her own time with her abductor. The romance is nice and her relationship with the other female characters, all in a way trying to survive their own dealing with bad men, with the patriarchy is really good.
Overall, a super entertaining and well written book.

But, still a fun read. It’s interesting how much Murderbot is evolving, and being ever closer to feeling like a human. The trauma exploration on this one was the best part.

It’s hard to put into words. Brutal and epic might be too little, but it is that. It’s not my fave or the most action packed of the five but it delivers what it promised with unexpected twists and expected losses.
There were many tears as each character reached a crucial or ending point in their arc. Kaladin and Adolin I will miss you so much!
This book contained so much information, so much setting for the future, that I will need many rereads of the Cosmere books to truly understand it all.
It’s difficult to say goodbye, for who knows how long, to Roshar, still I can’t wait for whatever is coming to the Cosmere meanwhile.

A super happy and sobbing one. What a beautiful romance, and the setting so well done.

The more I read of Murderbot and Art and all the companions the more I love them! I could read Murderbot diaries forever!

Absolutely loved this art immersive tale of flawed painters and artists, of young lovers, of jaded people, of life as it is for the 99 and 1%.
A meta story of art inside art.
The sapphic love story was candid and beautiful, pained and hopeful.
A coming of age, a love story, but also a great critique into the art business.

This is such a quirky, unusual, and long book.
It’s almost like it is about nothing, or just about the mundane daily things, of course there’s the “little people” and the “cult” but even though it seems that way, in truth, it is about greater themes, the ones hard to put in words- love, good and evil, and the choices that graze the gray line between it all.
I think the audio made it a more pleasant read, as it’s such a long, at times repetitive book.
Also, don’t look for explanations, a bow tying everything, because only one thing matters in the end, and I think that is the way it should be and, definitely, how the author saw it as well.

I found the narrative not the best but the story was otherwise really compelling, moving, and, despite the many tragedies, really beautiful and hopeful.

I felt a bit disconnected from the characters, in a way their pain was just so far out and described in a way that it was hard to understand, the same with the romance, however it was very entertaining and a quick read.
