4 stars
This is the second novella in the Monk and Robot series, which so far is the last. Like the first, this book is like a big hug and a warm quilt. Sibling Dex and Mosscap are back, still roaming the countryside, but this time, on their way to Dex’s home. The book continues to ask the existential questions about life, want, need, humanity, etc, through dialogues between Dex and Mosscap. There is a lot less tea serving as Dex questions his purpose in life. But like Psalm for the Wild-Built, it is still a cozy book that is a joy to read.
I’m keeping this review very short as the book is so similar to Psalm, and because typing is still slow after my shoulder surgery. I give this book four stars out of five. It is very close to a five star book for me, because of the way it left me feeling. It would have been an interesting experience if this were a single volume. It makes me wonder if I would have given it five stars if I could have sat with it longer. Anyway, it’s a wonderful read, so warm, gentle, and comforting in the way it leaves me feeling. I look forward to any other sequels Chambers produces.
