Time flew by and they got older and wiser. An adventure awaits as he explored his new vocation. They decided to transfer to the village to do tea service, a wagon service where people come with problems and leave with a cup of tea. They wanted to change their vocation, to be out of the city and live near the wilderness so that they can hear the sounds of insects. Then the story began with Sibling Dex aka Dex, 29, monk who reside at monastery, (goes by they/them/their) told in the third person point of view. This book started with an article from Brother Gil about where the robots wanted to go after creation at factory. I normally don’t like swearing in my reading but Dex swore at all the right places and each time it sparked a smile from me like the tree blocking the road.

This story definitely reeled me in, as soon as I read the first person who came with a problem and how Dex handled the situation. (The use of they/them/their for Dex immediately made sense to me because I just learned about Gender Non-Binary from my last read, The Love Square).

This book was a fantastic read! The somewhat prologue was confusing for me and I almost dread reading the book until I started chapter 1 and liked Dex a lot! I loved following Dex’s view and seeing them stumbled through their first day on the tea service. My Experience: I started reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built on and finished it on.

One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in.
