A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

3.0

In this story you follow a Tea Monk and a Robot who end travelling together to find the answers they both need. This is also a story about accepting that what you believe to be your purpose in life can change in time and that you don’t need to hold yourself accountable to find a purpose.

I’ve seen this series get recommended so many times and heard it get hyped up. And to be honest it fell flat for me. I get what the message of this book is and I think others will love this but I was just wanting more. But, I’m also a person who needs to either get amazing world building or fall in love with a character for things to work for me. 

This is a cozy fantasy novella with some great quotes like this one, “it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.” But, it’s just not for me.
