Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
By the third installment of this series the protagonist is growing a bit, though he (it? they? Murderbot presents as male but does not seem to have any interior masculine talk) is still kind of one-dimensional as far as I am concerned. These are simple books with simple plots, but they do have a lot of well-constructed action sequences that make for an exciting read. Am happy to have picked it up. It would be interesting if she started doing more to work through how Murderbot is neither male nor female, and how that interacts with its vicarious (but growing more personal) interest in emotions.
