This book does exactly what it sets out to do: provide a cozy, low-stakes, and life-affirming story of personal discovery. It's about sitting with a lack of direction and all the anxieties of being alive, wanting to have a sense of purpose and not knowing what that even is or how to achieve it. It's also about the simple pleasures and beauties of life.
This book has achieved a niche no other really has, and it's a landmark for representation in literature, with its polytheistic, monastic, nonbinary protagonist. It develops a reverence for the nonhuman, blurring the lines between the natural and constructed world we typically think of in binary.
