Charlie Costello’s Reviews > A Psalm for the Wild-Built > Status Update

The amount of personality that Moscap displays surprised me. Moscap has a personality beyond what you might expect from a robot. It has a whole array of Emotions, such as its passion for animals and finding Dex’s jokes funny. I think the Author gave Moscap this weird personality to show how much Robots have changed since they first awakened, and to humanize them so we can question what really makes a human human.

Dex and Mothcap's introduction to each other portrays them as very different, but also similar. For example, they both are genderless, and they both left their respective communities. I think the Author is going to use these similarities and differences between the Dex and Mosscap to foster a relationship in which they will learn lessons from each other that they will take back to their respective communities.

So far, Panga has been portrayed as a seemingly perfect world, but the Author still shows that people have issues. For example, even after Dex has become a great tea monk, they are still not satisfied without hearing the crickets. I think the book's overall message will be that, no matter what, not everything in life will be perfect, and Dex will have to learn this truth to be fulfilled with what they have.
