2022 book 103

 Becky Chambers' A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

If you liked the first Monk and Robot book, then you will love their further adventures interacting with a wide variety of futuristic humans! If you maybe wished there was a little bit more to the story, you will feel that same vague sense of dissatisfaction with this one. It is a very PLEASANT and INTERESTING book! I even learned things about nature and enjoyed the philosophical discussions! But the end makes it clear there is more story on the way and I just would like a teensy bit more of a wrap-up. Still, the central relationship here is very sweet and there are some absolutely hilarious moments in this one. I look forward to this being part of a complete series. A-.
