A Psalm for the Wild-Built

To be honest, the pronoun usage was a bit difficult to get used to, but it got easier with time. I understand how important representation is, so I'm not holding a slight inconvenience against this book. Still, I'm not quite sure what to make of the book. The philosophical ponderings would have had an impact on me if I was in high school - I'm not sure if that is the target audience. The setting raises a lot of questions - for instance, it made no mention of how the robots have souls if they're recycled; I feel like that's a big thing to leave unanswered. And why would the robots believe in the same gods that the people did; why did all people believe in the same gods? Were there any people who didn't believe in gods? Does this mean there has been contact with gods? Also, it was a baffling decision to make the robot feel so human, and the human feel so robotic; that is to say, the human was extremely unlikeable. It also felt weird for a monk to be so sex-forward. I don't know. Great cover art though.
