Recommended for fans of Chambers' Wayfarers series and The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune.' - Booklist Starred Review 'Written with all of Chambers' characteristic nuance and careful thought, this is a cozy, wholesome meditation on the nature of consciousness and its place in the natural world. It's a soft hug of a book, and it says 'It's okay if you're not okay right now.' It made me cry the good sort of tears-the sort when someone is unexpectedly kind to you at the moment you need it most.' -Alexandra Rowland 'A joyful experience and, as with all of Chambers's books, I was left with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.' - New Scientist 'The first book in Chambers' new series feels like a moment to breathe, a novel that exists to give readers a place to rest and think. It felt like a warm cup of tea made by someone who loves me. We could all use a read like this right now.' -Sarah Pinsker 'I read this book in one sitting when I was having a really wretched day, and it helped. Exploring it with the two main characters was a fun and fascinating experience.' -Martha Wells 'I'm the world's biggest fan of odd couple buddy road trips in science fiction, and this odd couple buddy road trip is a delight: funny, thoughtful, touching, sweet, and one of the most humane books I've read in a long time.

Stunning, kind, necessary.' -Sarah Gailey 'This was an optimistic vision of a lush, beautiful world that came back from the brink of disaster. This is a book that, for one night, made me stop asking 'what am I even for ?' I'm prescribing a preorder to anyone who has ever felt lost.

With a pervading sense of optimism and warmth, A Psalm for the Wild-Built inaugurates an exciting series from one of science fiction's brightest stars.' - Shelf Awareness starred review 'Hugo Award-winning author Becky Chambers begins a new series with this delightful and quietly philosophical novella that presents a hopeful glimpse into a future where humanity actually does the right thing.' - Buzzfeed 'Chambers' writing is always tender and healing, but this book has something else braided into it - something more.

Praise for book 1: A Psalm for the Wild-Built A USA Today Bestseller!
