“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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

A Goodreads Most Anticipated Summer Read!

A Top Ten LibraryReads Selection!

“[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. Quiet and contemplative, empathic and warmhearted, this masterful sequel builds on the themes of the first volume to posit a more sustainable, more caring way of life. It’s both truly comforting and endlessly thought-provoking. ” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Thoughtful, with a gentleness that is as encompassing as any action-filled work.” —Library Journal, starred review “[A] hopeful glimpse at what our future might look like.” —Booklist

“As charming and heartwarming as the first.” —Buzzfeed

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.

Loved, loved, loved this!!

Loved, loved, loved this!! The characters are so endearing, and the story so wonderful in all its facets! The narrator nails it! VERY much looking forward to the next in this series! Thank you, Becky Chambers and Em Grosland!

great book

I normally don't guy short e-books as I like to have something to listen to that I can really get into for a longer period of time. That being said these books are very easy to relate to as there are only 2 main characters having a conversation. I like the narrator will add them to my list of good narrators I will look for others titles by. I enjoyed following the two characters are they travel down the road. I found these books because I had listened to another series by the author that I really enjoyed.

Delightful.

A wonderful continuation of an already delightful tale. I enjoy many genres for many different reasons but there is a great warmth in opening a book knowing nothing truly awful is about happen.
