A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

My general feelings over this, summed up, are just: it's okay. The world-building was great, and the plot started out a relaxing kind of okay, only to peter out into a philosophical meh. I didn't really care for Dex as a character. Mosscap was interesting, especially with that name, but ultimately nothing that really stood out to me. There were a lot of philosophical and environmental messages (Mosscap being the main deliverer of the former) and I ended up feeling like it became less of an actual story and more of a way just to tell us said messages.
