# A Psalm for the Wild-Built

I started my review of Chambers’ The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet with “Usually I bounce right off of stories that are almost entirely without plot…”

So I couldn’t recall why I put this one on my reading list when I saw it recently. I wondered that again, book in hand, reading the dust jacket and thinking “man, this really doesn’t sound like anything I’m going to enjoy.”

Well here I am on the other side, still confused why I put this on my to-read list. But that’s entirely on me. This book is incredibly clear about what it is and isn’t. I’m sure folks who just want a cozy cup of tea in a new place will dig the heck out of it.

My two-star review is more a review of my book-selecting skills than a commentary on this. This was fine; I’m the problem.
