Just like the first, this is a delightful cozy fantasy novel. I still love Sibling Dex, and Mosscap. Especially as someone whom struggles with depression, knowing that someone out there knows what it feels like is more comforting than I can explain. I would love 90 more of these little novels.
This installment of the story of Dex and Mosscap follows them in their journey to introduce Mosscap to the people of panga. On the way, Dex engages in quite a bit of self reflection while Mosscap exhibit’s the pure joy of discovering new things. Peaceful and charming, but plants important seeds of self awareness.
A short and sweet novella that examines what it means to be human through the narrative of a robot's introduction to society. A solid continuation from the first book and a good read to start out the new year.
