A Psalm for the Wild-Built

There's something that elevated Becky Chambers for me after reading all of her Wayfarer series. If I hadn't read those first, I'm not sure I would have appreciated this one as much (like how I wasn't as in love with To Be Taught if Fortunate, which was my first Chambers, like so many other people). This is a really intricate story mostly about one character and their struggles with the minutia of life and individual purpose (yes please!). Although I appreciated their journey for most of the book, I was a tad bored until the 2/3rds mark — and THEN I was hooked. The set up for the rest of the series has me super excited for the next one and hopefully many more after.
