Needless to say, I devoured this book in one sitting.Ī Prayer for the Crown-Shy takes place a few days after the events in its predecessor. I also bought it for my Kindle, so I could read it anywhere, anytime. As soon as it was available at my local bookstore, I purchased it. I fell absolutely in love with that book, so I was eagerly awaiting its sequel, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy. The first book I read by her was A Psalm for the Wild-Built, which is the first book in her Monk and Robot series of novellas. I first heard of Becky Chambers last year. They hope to find the answers they seek, while making new friends, learning new concepts, and experiencing the entropic nature of the universe.īecky Chambers’s new series continues to ask: in a world where people have what they want, does having more even matter?


This book immediately made it to my list of books I get for people as gifts regardless of what they usually read.A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is a story of kindness and love from one of the foremost practitioners of hopeful SF.Īfter touring the rural areas of Panga, Sibling Dex (a Tea Monk of some renown) and Mosscap (a robot sent on a quest to determine what humanity really needs) turn their attention to the villages and cities of the little moon they call home. The world is so broken and it’s overwhelming and this book made me want to make tea and go in search of cricket songs. A genderless tea monk decides to search for crickets to hear their song and on the way meets a robot that lives in the wild with other robots since all the factories were shut down out of respect for the robots’ rights. Pile of Opinions: What a precious little piece of a tree pulp! This book healed parts of my soul I didn’t know a book could heal. Vibe Check: Genderless tea monk sets out on a quest to hear crickets in the wild and meets a robot who becomes their companion Book Review (more just a pile of my personal opinions from my personal experiences)
