I was happy to return to the world inhabited by Dex and Mosscap. Mosscap's wonder at nature and humans and human nature is a delight -- though I appreciate seeing how Mosscap's constant questioning and unintentional obtuseness sometimes grates on Dex. Definitely relatable!

Not much happens, but it's just nice to see how humans have adapted to live in intentional harmony with their world, and how the people and communities that Dex and Mosscap meet along their journey welcome these two in their own ways.
