This book follows Sibling Dex who wants a change in their life and decides to become a tea monk. This is still not fulfilling of them, and they go on a journey into the wilderness. There they meet the robot asking many questions about humanity.

This story was very short, but so good. It brings up so many questions about humanity, asking “what does a human need?”. It is a question almost impossible to answer. It also has really great soft moments, amazing world building considering it is so short and very good writing. It was such a solid story and now I’m eager to pick up more from this author. Overall, the atmosphere, the themes and the characters were all solid! 4/5 very strong stars.
