A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (monk & Robot #2)

The sequel to A Psalm for the Wild-Built, now available on a shelf near you.

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

“A lightly drawn but profound meditation on belief, entropy, and the nature of need and want that once again demonstrates Chambers’s prowess as both a storyteller and a thinker.” — Publishers Weekly

“… thoughtful, with a gentleness that is as encompassing as any action-filled work.” — Library Journal
