Cozy, utopian science-fiction with a heavy dose of existentialism, this book was a very quick and enjoyable read. Our main character, an agender monk from a big city, changes their profession to being a tea monk, roaming around and offering tea and listening to people's problems. They got very good at it, still felt restless, and decided to take off into the unknown, where the adventure begins.

I loved all of the descriptions and characters, and I could relate to that constant stirring of the soul, craving meaning, craving purpose, craving something more, and not really knowing what could possibly fill that void. I am excited to read the sequel after reading this book.
