Cosy and contemplative, A Pslam for the Wild-Built is truly a must-read for those of us who are feeling burned out and questioning their lives and what we're doing in this world.

This story is character driven, and the character (who is non-binary) is someone who I could really relate to. I, too, have always wanted to leave the city and escape to the wilderness. I was definitely questioning my existence while reading this, but in a good way.

I loved the character if Mosscap and the chemistry between Mosscap and Dex was wholesome. We love a good platonic relationship 👏🏼

The world building was fantastic and I truly felt as if I was sucked into the book thanks to the vivid descriptions.

If you can, please listen to the audiobook, as the performance was top-notch.
