A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
4.0
This was a lovely little cosy read that almost hit all the marks for me, but to be fair, it's been a weird week in my life.
The highlight of the book for me was the conversations between Dex and Mosscap that touched on humanity's obsession with particular subjects. A ton of people need the messaging that this book provides, especially in the context that it delivers them. There was a fantastic opportunity to touch on a little something else as well toward the end and expand in a way that would've been productive, but that's just my opinion.
In the end, the only reason this isn't a five-star read for me is that the final message didn't hit home for me as strongly as it did for my buddy reader, and I was a bit let down by that. But that's alright, not all messages reach all readers in the same intensity. If you're looking for a book about a travelling tea monk and a robot discussing humanity, this is the book for you!
