All murderbot, all the time! It looks like a lot, but they are so short it's really just one great novel-length muderbot book.

Borderline by Mishell Baker (3 stars)

I waited way too long to review this one. And I was staring at it in my list and could not recall a single thing about it. After reading some reviews it came back to me, but I think that is somewhat telling.

I actually recall liking the complex and messy characters in this book. Physical disability and mental illness is front and center: very unusual for an urban fantasy.

3 stars.
