All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)

Martha Wells · · finished

Good novel, it got me excited enough to read all at once. However, the end was not punchy enough to keep me going in the other books (at least not now).

The narrative works well, the beginning is a little bit slow. Besides the rhythm, there are two other not-so-good things that don't make it a four- or five-star: - There are things that are too convenient for the story. A lot of forced coincidences that do not need to be there for the plot to work. - Some things could be better explored, even if it would make the book longer.

If you read and liked Asimov and similar sci-fi classics I would strongly recommend it!
