Audiobook narrated by Em Grosland.

The sequel to A Psalm for the Wild-Built. Dex and Mosscap travel across the land, meet a variety of different people and have many poignant experiences.

- Similar to it's predecessor, this is a relaxed and reflective tale. This time there's less of a destination and reads more as a journey with different sections. 

- I love this world that Chambers has created. She has a knack for creating such inclusive and comforting but also faceted worlds. 

- I feel Dex's internal conflict. How do you reconcile anxiety, depression and other mental concerns when on paper you have everything? I love how the book covers this and addresses mental health.

Cosy, calm and introspective. Good for those that need a hug in book form.
