Yup, I intend to finish it. I've heard The Dark Forest may be the best in the series, so looking forward to the next one.

How are the Murderbot books? I've been intending to pick them up

Thats exciting! I might read the Remembrance this year.

Murderbot is exciting! There is very little world building, you are thrown into the world and you slowly figure things out. Each novella is a new adventure, but as a whole(the series) its a lot more; an android seeing and understanding humans in a very different way.

It also explores how a world of robots would have various bots with each having a different personality(they develop) based on their lifelong assigned task.

The Muderbot itself is sulky, tired of incompetent humans and its dry behavior adds humor to the narration. Plus it addicted to watching soap operas so it has a very unique understanding of human creativity and reality.
