I’ve just finished reading the last of the books, and I’m pretty excited to see what they do with the series.
I haven’t read this series yet but it’s on my TBR. Is there some kind of actual justification for the price of these books? The combined total word count of all the books is ~350k, which is 50k words shorter than a few books I’ve recently read that cost $7-8 each. Meanwhile the entire Murderbot series costs $76 to purchase, most of them being 30k words for $12.
I’m lethargic on both getting around to reading it and not letting those hefty prices color my opinion if I were to read it, so I’m not sure if I ever will.
Except one, all of them are very short indeed. Tho when I discovered the series, All Systems Red was cheap, probably to get you hooked. I liked them a lot, tho after a while it tends to repeat itself a bit. I’d say buy them one at a time and decide how far you’ll go?
I truly enjoyed them.
I so want to finish the books before this comes out. I just can’t remember how far I got in the series :(
I really like the books, but the names are so generic. I have to look up the order every time I read them.
The audiobooks are fantastic btw.
The problem is they’re priced as a full book for what are mostly novellas, and I still think “maybe it’s worth it…”
So this is being developed by the people responsible for - variously - The Creator, American Pie, and Foundation?
Not exactly inspiring huge confidence in their ability to create thoughtful science fiction that respects and understands the core themes of the source material.
