Where The Wayfarers was about finding family in an exciting but high-stakes and sometimes brutal future, A Psalm for the Wild-Built is pastoral and meditative in a setting where humanity managed to unf*ck itself. (Possible spoilers ahead.) I’m always ready for a Becky Chambers book. But if you need some time, to think and unwind, this book is meditation written on paper. If it's not for you, whatever, its short and sweet so you'll not be wasting too much of your life. I honestly just fannot recommend this book enough. But throughout the duration it really makes you question a lot of assumptions, but also of your own mindset. This sounds boring and unthrilling, and compared to, say, the expanse series, it's pretty chilled out. Simply put, this book, in a future absent of any material or ecological stresses, deals with the nature of purpose and choice and the nature of consciousness. I'm not usually one to write reviews but i owe this book after listening to it in one sitting, completely engrossed and at peace, so bear in mind my words are biased and unlikely to explain the book well enough compared to the other reviews. I've been looking for a book like this, for a very long time regardless of whether ive known it.
