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!

Left me thinking about technology and humanity and the ever changing nature of this out of our control. It was fun!

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

Not as good as A Psalm for the Wildbuilt, but that’s a pretty high bar. A must-read for people who liked its prequel. Nearly as moving and thought-provoking and almost as well-wrote. A beautiful and hopeful vision of a kind and sustainable world. I want more books like this.

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.

I finished this sequel with the same contented smile on my face as when I read bk 1. The frustrating thing was, that I didn't even know it wasn't the end until I flipped to Acknowledgments. (!!!) I read this on my phone because I couldn't wait to get my hands on the physical copy, but will buy both books for our school library, for sure! Raises ethical questions about human interaction with the environment, other creatures and other humans. Interesting debate about what material to use to mend Mosscap - biomaterial vs a recycled part? Fishing almost made me cry.

If A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a cake, then A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is another, just as good if not better, cake.

This book features my favorite bits of its prequel and builds on it by simply adding more. More exploration of a post-utopian world, more philosophical ramblings between two queer characters that I would be fine with going on for three hundred pages, more robot being curious about human society and human being curious about robot society.

This is everything I want in a sequel, and I want 20 more of these little Panga non-binary bitches (/pos)
