Praise for A Psalm for the Wild-Built : A USA Today and MPIBA Bestseller! A Locus Award Finalist! " A Psalm for the Wild-Built begins a series that looks optimistic and hopeful, pursuing stories that arise from abundance instead of scarcity, kindness instead of cruelty, and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here." --NPR "The gentle touch with which Chambers handles her material makes the book''s loftiest philosophical aims feel grounded. 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. 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. Stunning, kind, necessary." --Sarah Gailey "This was an optimistic vision of a lush, beautiful world that came back from the brink of disaster.
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. We could all use a read like this right now." --Sarah Pinsker "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. 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 "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.
