Well I went ahead and borrowed Fugitive Telemetry off Hoopla (still trying to avoid borrowing too much from there considering it charges the library each time you borrow something with it as opposed to Libby that I'm pretty sure is more like a broad subscription model). I was sick of it being a week without the 2 week waiting period budging. I'm convinced that both library copies were in use by people who don't know you can (and it's in fact polite to) return Libby checkouts early after you finish them. I finished it in 2 hours.
It's probably the least interesting in the series so far but I still really enjoyed it. A police procedural just isn't what I'm into the series for. Also kinda interesting that it takes place before the last one, I wish more authors were willing to do interquels when their series kinda call for them.
I have a feeling Murderbot was misreading the motivations of...uh...just about everyone in this story at least a little but that's something that would probably require rereading it to be sure. At minimum I got the feeling that things were a little more complicated for how the humans felt about it being around than the pessimistic view it had. The bit with the refugees trying to shoot it was a big oof though, but the understatedness of the scene added a delightful flavor/twist of the knife to it.
Anyway thank goodness the next 2 I am first in line to borrow. I simply must know what happens after Network Effect.
