I don't know that I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed the wayfarer's series. Dex is a likable character in the human world, but they become a little bit insufferable insufferable once introduced to Moss Cap and they have to face their feelings of inadequacy. They are very human, and their insecurity manifesting as shame and stress is incredibly understandable, but it makes them a bit frustrating as a protagonist. That being said, their character arc is made all the more satisfying because of their initial petulance. Moss Cap is a sweetheart. The novel had a great message about the search for meaning.
