Becky Chambers has followed up her Psalm for the Wild-Built series with A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (#1,087) continuing the adventures of tea monk Sibling Dex and Mosscap, the robot who came out of the wilderness to meet them, and to ask as many humans as he can: What can he do for them? What do they need?
The answers are surprising as the pair draw closer and closer to the City, the terminus of their journey together. Dex finds more than he bargained for in his interactions with Mosscap while Mosscap - well, he finds continual delight in the human realm. It's delightful and touching as they explore the world around them. Will they ever make it to the City? I rather hope not.
Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot sci-fi series has much to offer its readers. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
