![]() ![]() I just need to look at the existing world for my dose of darkness. There is a lot of dark and hard sci-fi around which I don’t enjoy. But personally I feel we need books like that. ![]() There was a top Goodreads review that criticised it for utopian-like world without explaining how it solved all its issues. I was mesmerised by the writing and the world from the very start. ![]() Sometimes I just want to freeze my brain and read something that would make me hate the world less. Recommended to me by Lauren and Ariel, A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a thought provoking story set on a moon called Panga. It was one of the most soothing books I’ve read in recent times. They change their vocation, becoming a tea monk traveling around to the various villages and towns to bring whatever. Sibling Dex is a monk of the Child God Allalae in Panga’s City and is completely unsatisfied with their life. This is a strikingly smart use of genre, an exciting beginning to a series that already has delivered on its promise of nuanced, satisfying warmth. I thought it was quite an interesting title – there was a line on the cover that says “A monk and robot book”, and I was immediately sold. A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers is the biggest, cuddliest, most-needed hug I could have ever asked for. Becky Chambers’ A PSALM FOR THE WILD-BUILT is an epic premise explored intimately, making for one of the most hopeful post-apocalyptic imaginings. Someone on reddit asked for: “A book that tells you that your life doesn’t need a purpose, or a grand ambition and that it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things to do until you die” on r/suggestmeabook, and I saw that quite a few people recommended “ A Psalm for the Wild-Built” by Becky Chambers. ![]()
