Artificial Condition by Martha WellsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Today I was in the mood for the second Murderbot Diaries novella.
Now that Murderbot is alone, its decided to go back to the scene of the massacre, to find out why it killed so many humans. But to do that, Murderbot makes a new friend, gets a job, and encounters a few surprises along the way...
Murderbot is SO much FUN. The second installment is just as good as the first, and introduces more locations, new well-meaning humans getting into trouble, and some of the answers our favourite SecUnit has been searching for.
I love how Murderbot goes through several physical, mental, and even emotional changes during this story. The first one being that it makes a friend. A very helpful friend who helps Murderbot during its quest for answers.
Asshole Research Transport, aka ART, is a giant transport bot, and their connection is awesome. I love how they interact with each other, and even enjoy watching shows together. Another great thing is how ART's sensitivity to humans helps Murderbot develop an even deeper awareness.
I can't wait to read more Murderbot adventures!

Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy by Martha WellsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
After reading the second novella in this fun series, I had to read this too.
The cargo ship called Perihelion and its crew arrive at a space station with an important mission on their agenda, but Peri's acting a little differently nowadays...
I really enjoyed it. A lot!
Reading stories in this world from the POV of other characters is so exciting. I liked Iris and her crew. The closeness, the bickering, how they relied on Peri and know it enough to notice the changes!
And that brings me to Peri, aka Perihelion. Or ART. Murderbot's friend! I hope we get to see more interactions between them in future novellas. 😁
