The stuff that I was hung up on in the first book of this series were much less important in this one, and I really enjoyed getting to see Dex and Mosscap’s adventures continue into the human realm. I loved all the new characters we got to meet and the descriptions of each new setting. The best part was that the deep conversations that I loved in the first book continued and became more nuanced and complex. Such a beautiful read!

Left me thinking about technology and humanity and the ever changing nature of this out of our control. It was fun!

Re-read, first time listening to the audiobook. I like the narration. This is my favourite book of all time.

Not as good as A Psalm for the Wildbuilt, but that’s a pretty high bar. A must-read for people who liked its prequel. Nearly as moving and thought-provoking and almost as well-wrote. A beautiful and hopeful vision of a kind and sustainable world. I want more books like this.

I was very nervous the sequel wouldn't live up to the original but Chambers did it again. This should be a required read for everyone. I look forward to going through her backlog.

Lighthearted sequel to an amazing book. An amazing way to explore philosophical themes through loveable characters as they explore a beautiful world. Chambers’ ‘Monk and Robot series’ are the first works I’ve read of her’s- and I’m excited to explore more :0)
