 As with all of Becky Chambers' work, A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a heartwarming character-driven tale within a science fiction setting.

And, as per usual, I enjoyed it deeply.

This novella is a soothing cup of tea on a stressful day, and it brought me to tears once or twice.

I would have loved to learn a little more about the world, and found the pacing a bit uneven, but I imagine this is due to the fact that this is the first in a series.

Absolutely lovely and certainly worth the read if you enjoy slow, introspective, cozy sci-fi as I do!
