A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

A Monk and Robot Book

By: Becky Chambers

Narrated by: Em Grosland

“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

"This hopeful listen, full of humor, illuminates a world listeners will yearn to return to." -AudioFile on A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

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?

A Great Followup to my favorite novella

absolutely blasted through this entry to the series. it is indescribably comforting and fills me with warmth. not sad it's over, glad it happened.
the performance is absolutely perfect and we'll cast, the world is wonderful and idyllic. I want to live in Penga.

Thank You

Thank you, Becky Chambers. Thanks so much. I needed this book right now. I need to see a healed world. I'm so glad you're writing it.

Hope punk gives me life

A gentle reminder that it can't be enough to just BE in these times of fear and strife

Heartwarming and hopeful

This series is sweet and thoughtful and deceptively philosophical. I think I would like to live in a future like this... even understanding that being human will always be mystifying

it's so exquisitly written. it reads like prose.

Chambers is one of my new favorite authors. If you're looking for emergent writers, you've found one in Chambers. Thought-provoking yet simply executed.

Wholesome. Thought provoking

Such a wholesome story and great narration. Extra words to meet the 15 word minimum

For those feeling a bit lost

This series is for those feeling a bit lost. The ones maybe at a loss, confused by their mind, the world around them. The ones feeling a bit alone. Or those simply looking for books that have a bit of medicine for the heart and mind.

The perfect sequel

Another great book from Becky Chambers. This is the perfect sequel. It answers all of the questions and with the two novellas you have one wonderfully complete novel. Highly recommended

Lovely escape to a hopeful world

I read the first, but even more enjoyed being read this second installment. The narrator is great, really made Mosscaps personality come alive!

These stories bring me comfort

This is a good book for anyone in their early middle age dissatisfied with where life brought them and looking for some direction on how to deal with that. For this, and the prequel (song for the wild built, don’t miss it!!) I had the opposite of a book hangover. I finished both of them and just felt a wash of contented-ness. Absolutely loved it. I do hope a third in the series comes out soon!
