This is my first Becky Chamber's book and also my first venture into the solar-punk genre. Its very cozy sci-fi and I enjoyed the general vibes. Wild-Built explored a lot of interesting questions about individual purpose, life's meaningfulness, and what we choose to peruse. But I don't really know if it answers any of those questions. It kind of just gives the reader the space to dwell on those ideas and maybe the permission to not have answers. Some how it just ends up feeling really cozy. Solid 3.5
