Becky Chambers really just sat down and went "I'm gonna give my readers a comforting hug via book" huh?
There are books that come to you at the right time, and A Psalm for The Wild-Built was absolutely one of those. I've had an incredibly stressful month and a half and this was exactly what I needed. I understood sibling Dex's worries, fears and anxieties about their purpose at a core level, and Mosscap's gentle reassurances were a soothing balm to my soul.
TL;DR: This was short, incredibly comforting, and made me cry. 10/10
