A review by somethingarosie
Sourdough by Robin Sloan

4.0

This book takes us on a meditative journey exploring the value of happiness over conventional success. Sloan beautifully illustrates how pursuing one's passions, like baking sourdough bread, can lead to a more fulfilling life.

 I enjoyed delving into the unique cultures of the characters, but the plot took an unexpected turn towards the end with the starter nearly being stolen, which felt somewhat disconnected from the overall contemplative tone of the book. I enjoyed the slow-paced, introspectiveness of the book, which was momentarily lost here.

Nonetheless, 'Sourdough' reminds us of the importance of choosing happiness and finding balance between ambition and contentment.

4⭐️

 A thought-provoking read that blends elements of technology, food & magical realism! 🍞📚
