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.

This book is just as lovely as the first one. I love Dex and Mosscap so much and I hope we get to hear more of their adventures some day. ❤️ And Becky Chambers has done something I didn’t think was possible: she had me crying over a fish.

I was hesitant to read this since my experience with the first book was so good that I didn't want to potentially taint it with a subpar sequel, but man am I glad Rory convinced me to read it because it absolutely lived up to the first book. It really is just a warm hug.

This book was like reading a warm hug. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Mosscap’s introduction to humans could not have gone better. I loved how they experienced delight in every new experience they encountered. This author has made a world where human beings have become their best possible selves, and I am here for it.

This was another great work by Becky Chambers although I preferred the first in this series to this one. As novellas, they encompass a great deal, but this one felt almost incomplete. I felt like I needed like one or two more chapters.
I really enjoy the combination of the religious aspects and the sci-fi aspects in this series; it's something that works so well that it's almost shocking!
