I absolutely adored this book. The first couple of chapters were okay; I was interested in the world, and appreciated having a nonbinary protagonist. But once we got into the rest of the story, I fell in love, and couldn't stop reading. I can't wait for the second book to come out. I love these characters, and the conversations they have.

This is a new favorite not for the entertainment value but for the message and the themes this book represents. I actually DNF'd this twice and wasn't sure if this story was clicking for me. It wasn't until I relaxed and just let the story flow that I realized this was exactly what I needed most right now. In fact, by the end, I was convinced this story was meant for me, at this exact moment in my life. I know that sounds corny and dramatic as hell, sorry!
A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a story that examines the meaning of life's purpose. A story that will ease the doubting voices in your head, encouraging you to stop awhile to enjoy the life you were gifted. This story, (inadvertently, or not) will point out the privilege of being alive while helping you cope with the realization that it's okay to just exist and enjoy the small comforts that life brings because "just existing" is a valid purpose of life too.
"Then how," Dex said, "how does the idea of maybe being meaningless sit well with you?" Mosscap considered. "Because I know that no matter what, I'm wonderful," it said.
This quote had me sobbing and I couldn't help but share.
