A really lovely, quick, thought provoking read! I love Becky’s writing style, and the story here was really engaging, despite being under 200 pages long. I loved Mosscap, and learning more about the robots and what happened with Panga was really interesting- will definitely be picking up book two!

Lovely. Reading this was like taking a deep breath.
The ending scene with the two protagonists- perfection.
Adding this here because it was said perfectly and I want to be able to find this again:

“…the heartwarming observation on the very uniquely human obsessional drive toward having a purpose in life. We are recycled bits of the universe, with the rare ability to be self-aware of our own tiny selves in the vastness of space. That in itself is amazing, and, enough.”

Usually when I read a great book, I'm glued to the pages, heart pounding with anticipation. Psalm for the Wild-Built is like meditation in book form.. reflective but light.
