The stuff that I was hung up on in the first book of this series were much less important in this one, and I really enjoyed getting to see Dex and Mosscap’s adventures continue into the human realm. I loved all the new characters we got to meet and the descriptions of each new setting. The best part was that the deep conversations that I loved in the first book continued and became more nuanced and complex. Such a beautiful read!

Re-read, first time listening to the audiobook. I like the narration. This is my favourite book of all time.

I was very nervous the sequel wouldn't live up to the original but Chambers did it again. This should be a required read for everyone. I look forward to going through her backlog.

Although from an objective standpoint this book probably contains more interesting information than the first, I fond myself enjoying it less. I don't know how much of that is just a mindset thing, but this one just didn't draw me in in the same way. I loved getting to see more of the world and I enjoyed some of the ideas that discussed, but t just felt like it was missing something from the first book and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. It maybe got a bit repetitive at times, especially in the dialogue. I'm not upset that I read it but I'm a little disappointed that it didn't quite hold up to what I was hoping it would be.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is a soothing book about connection, purpose, small comforts, and discovering what you need.
The themes of this book resonated so strongly with me. I loved the relationship between Dex and Mosscap, and between Mosscap and the other humans it came across in its effort to answer the question “what do humans need?”. Dex’s family was also lovely to meet, and seeing more of the communities on Panga was delightful.
Ask yourself, “what do you need, and how can someone help?”
This is the cozy sci-fi I didn’t know I needed. 5 stars.
