Becky Chambers does it again! I adore the worlds she creates and the stories of the characters within them. It really made me pause and think, "what is my purpose? Do I actually need to be living a life with a defined purpose?" The answer for me is still up in the air, but I am considering that question from a different perspective after reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built.
