System Collapse by Martha Wells
The excitement of these books is starting to wear thin. I'm glad I'm checking these out of the library rather than paying $22 for what is a slightly longer novella. But yes, author's need to get paid, too.
I also feel like I'm reading chapter books and in this case I couldn't quite remember where we left off in the last chapter.
In this case, Murderbot and his spaceship friend, ART are trying to rescue a group of colonists before they are all abducted by the Corporate Rim and sold off into indentured servitude. Most of the book is Murderbot whining about what is wrong with him until we get to a small battle in one of the colonists underground bases. The battle scene was tense and exciting but that was about it. And then the book was over and I'm left waiting for the next chapter.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
