A Psalm for the Wild-Built

I've had a really strong past read from Becky Chambers novella “To Be Taught if Fortunate” I consider it a favorite.

I didn't get along with the first book in her main series she's best known for and my reading experience was very similar with this one. Different stories but the tone so similar.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built felt overly child-like and whimsical. A pandering moral children story. I prefer books with such clear messages to be a bit more nuanced and less spoon fed when its marketed for an older audience. I really liked the concept of this but went too far in that direction that this slim novel went on too long for me.
