A Prayer for the Crown-Shy: A Monk and Robot Book (Monk & Robot, 2)

A USA Today Bestseller!

"Tender and healing... I'm prescribing a preorder to anyone who has ever felt lost. Stunning, kind, necessary." --Sarah Gailey on book 1: A Psalm for the Wild-Built

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is a story of kindness and love from one of the foremost practitioners of hopeful SF.

After 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.

They hope to find the answers they seek, while making new friends, learning new concepts, and experiencing the entropic nature of the universe.

Becky Chambers's new series continues to ask: in a world where people have what they want, does having more even matter?

This installment of the story of Dex and Mosscap follows them in their journey to introduce Mosscap to the people of panga. On the way, Dex engages in quite a bit of self reflection while Mosscap exhibit’s the pure joy of discovering new things. Peaceful and charming, but plants important seeds of self awareness.

A short and sweet novella that examines what it means to be human through the narrative of a robot's introduction to society. A solid continuation from the first book and a good read to start out the new year.
