    “This is the most recent addition to my “shelf of books that I want to keep”, and the book I’ve been recommending and giving to people. It’s a slim, quiet book, full of hope and care and thoughtful questions about what it means to be human, to be in relationship with others, and to be in community. Wholesome with being saccharine, inclusive without being pointed, earnest without being humorless. Beautiful!”

    “I love the two series I’ve read equally, but this one delves more into what makes us human at our core while the wayfarer series is what makes us alive and brings us together.”

    “An “environmental” fantasy book (is that a genre?) that offers a vision of what a life could be that braids together technology and mindful, community-based living - plus tea, and wild robots. ✨”
