I tried to give as vague an idea of what's going on as possible lol. Feel free to tell me to shut up if I go too far on the reveals.

This book did have some major differing plot points from book 1.

Season 1 spoilers.

▼Spoiler

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the book was really short, so some of the biggest differences were the dialogue between the crew fleshing them out as characters more. Most of the changes were really minor. The sec unit that got stomped by the ship for example was actually shot by Mensa's team. They didn't get a random survivor either who ends up betraying them, so that character and that kill by Murderbot totally weren't in the story. Sadly that was a big character change for Murderbot too when he stated he said he enjoyed killing her. At no point in the books does Murderbot ever express anything other than disdain for killing outside of when it has to happen, then it's really more cold detachment. Anyways. At the end there were 2 more differences one major and the other minor. The minor is really minor so I'll skip it. The major is that Murderbot never had his mind erased, and Gorathan was never the hero. In fact in later books he's still kind of a dick to Murderbot.

Which brings me to the conclusion that these changes were mostly actually really really good changes. The overall story is beat for beat what happens in the books with mostly minor deviations and a few huge ones that are, IMO really good choices for the story actually, it made for a much more dramatic wrap up than in the books for sure.
