By Becky Chambers and Becky Chambers

Book Overview

"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?

Customer Reviews

A gift on many levels

I was gifted this book, being frustrated by violent sci-fi. What an amazing journey. Gentle, thoughtful, hopeful. In today’s political climate it’s difficult to be hopeful. This is what I consider the best of sci-fi does, show us our potential as well as where we’re going wrong. Thanks for the focus on potential, it’s what I needed.

Most interesting and enjoyable read.

There are two books in this story line/series, both are worthy of your time. Both are fun and interesting reading (points of view). This author has several other titles that are worthy of your time, check them out too.
