I except I’ll end up reading the third book once my library gets it. I enjoyed A Psalm for the Wild Built and I will be reading the second book in the series–I already have it checked out from my local library. A Psalm for the Wild Built is the science fiction/fantasy equivalent of an old cosey, that sub-genre of mystery fiction that’s really more about the comfortable chair you sit in while you read it than it is about crime. There are slight road trip/hero’s journey elements here, but that’s not really wat this volume is about. The result is more gentle meditation than adventure. The monk looks inward into himself while the robot looks for contact with humans. I’m there.īoth are looking to discover just what has become of humanity. He meets a robot, one of several thousands who left humanity behind generations ago after achieving sentient intelligence.Ī robot and a monk traveling the wilderness in an old gypsy wagon. Set in the future or maybe on another planet, a travelling monk leaves his order to go back into nature hoping for time alone. The premise of Becky Chamber’s novel A Psalm for the Wild Built really appealed to me.
