Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy (The Murderbot Diaries, #2.5)Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy by Martha Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nommed for short Hugo this year.

I must be honest. As an in-betweener for the Murderbot series, it's short and sweet in only the way two machine intelligences can be when revealing their feelings.

But as a nom for the Hugo?

It's nothing groundbreaking. It's literally more of the same that we've always been getting with the series. No big ideas or imaginative sequences or a total alteration of perspective.

It's not a bad story, but it isn't a standout.
