I was wondering how Murderbot was going to translate into a fuller length novel from it's previous shorter formats, but it worked out very well. I only ding it because I had a hard time getting into it at the beginning before a certain character shows up but that's probably more of a reflection on me than Welles' writing. There's quite a few new characters, all of which are just as charming. A fuller cast, more adventure, and more, more sarcasm. Delightful.
