    This manner of storytelling, with the voices of the dead scaterred throughout the text, is beautiful and gives the story this dreamlike quality which is essesncial to the framing device. I'm loving it!

    A very exciting tale! The Diviner has lived her whole life in service of the gods, the Omens. But just as her tenure is about to end, revelations occur that shake her to her foundation. I enjoyed the pacing and the slow reveal of information. Even the ending was not as predictable as I thought it was going to be! Can't wait for the second one!

    This novella is just lovely. It's an exploration of humanity, consciousness, and the purpose we find to give meaning to our lives. A restless monk begins to question their purpose in life and strive to find meaning. As they explore the wilderness, they meet a curious robot who wants to check-in on humanity and figure out what humans need. And it's just the right length. Any longer and it might have become repetitive.

    "It's pretty here," Dex said. "I wouldn't have imagined I'd say that about a place like this, but -" "Yes, it is," Mosscap said, as if making a decision within itself. "It is. Dying things often are."

    oof
