A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Book Review (more just a pile of my personal opinions from my personal experiences)

Title: A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Author: Becky Chambers 

Year: 2021

Genre: Sci-Fi. Low stakes, post-industry

Queer shit: Genderqueer, pronouns

Vibe Check: Genderless tea monk sets out on a quest to hear crickets in the wild and meets a robot who becomes their companion

Pile of Opinions: What a precious little piece of a tree pulp! This book healed parts of my soul I didn’t know a book could heal. A genderless tea monk decides to search for crickets to hear their song and on the way meets a robot that lives in the wild with other robots since all the factories were shut down out of respect for the robots’ rights. This book is so wholesome and raw. The world is so broken and it’s overwhelming and this book made me want to make tea and go in search of cricket songs. This book immediately made it to my list of books I get for people as gifts regardless of what they usually read. Very excited to read A Prayer for the Crown-Shy 🙂
