Artificial Condition, by Martha Wells

 Yep, another Murderbot story, #2 in the series. And it was a pretty good story! 

Spoilers begin:

Like All Systems Red, Artificial Condition again featured lots of computer systems, with emotions, and our friend, the main character, Murderbot, now named Eden. We learn more about him or her or ter? (Ugh, the one thing that brought my review down a star was the author's inclusion of a character with a pronoun other than he, she or it. Thankfully, te (how stupid) wasn't a major character.)

Eden gets himself (?) on a planet where he believes he killed, or helped kill, all the human clients. He learns some of what needs to know, but more questions remain. He's getting really good at rescuing humans from their stupid mistakes.

Spoilers done.

Eden, or as I think of him, Murderbot, is growing on me. His love of bingeing media. His introverted self. I will be reading more of the Murderbot diaries, the next time I go to the library I'll get #3: Rogue Protocol. Unfortunately, not available on Kindle Unlimited.
