I loved Mosscap and related way too much. I too find myself surrounded by people who seem to know what their interest is while I find everything interesting! I just want to study it all. Whenever I get involved in a project I always develop some kind of side interest that ends up taking up a good chunk of my free time. I would absolutely love to learn more about the robot society! I loved the little snippets we did get. It sounds like a place I would love to live (although I don't know if I'd be welcome). I really hope that we get to see more of this in the next book. I'm a little sad at how short they are (I could have read on much longer) but at least that means it should be available from my library sooner?

This book has achieved a niche no other really has, and it's a landmark for representation in literature, with its polytheistic, monastic, nonbinary protagonist. It develops a reverence for the nonhuman, blurring the lines between the natural and constructed world we typically think of in binary.
Moderate: Death, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, and Abandonment

A delightful sci-fi novella! Low stakes, quiet musings on the meaning of life and consciousness; this book is like a warm cup of tea on a cold day.

Looking into a future far beyond what we’re even thinking about, Chambers is still addressing issues and concerns we face because they’re not individual problems with simple solutions. But she doesn’t confront readers with them unnecessarily and offers gorgeous perspective.
Speaking of, I loved the perspective in this book, and the way she handled darker topics in a delicate, natural way. This is such a cozy book, but it was also enlightening. Definitely one to savor and reread.

This book is a hugely refreshing vision of an optimistic, beautiful future. The world-building is incredible and also incremental, given to you when you need context but never overwhelming you with detail. The characters are extremely lovable, their interactions were funny enough to make me laugh out loud to myself. It is charming and insightful and relaxing and warm. Strongly recommend reading it outdoors, in a quiet place, with some greenery, and your favorite warm drink.
