This week I've been mainly reading, no. 208.
Becky Chambers 2nd Monk & Robot novella, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (2022) is every bit as charming & philosophically rich as the first (micro-review 186). Together they tell the tale of the growing relationship between a wondering tea-monk & a robot emissary seeking to understand the world of humans. Asking fascinating questions about what sentience is but also a story of friendship, I cannot recommend the pair enough!
@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon oh I adore the Monk and Robot books! I really hope she writes another one
No sign of one as yet, although she is currently writing (or even finished) her next book...
@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon Her writing gives me hope for us (humans and robots alike)
@ChrisMayLA6
She's a joy and a wonder.
@bookstodon @ChrisMayLA6 Becky Chambers is so good…
@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon I didn't feel as charmed by it as her other work, but considering how much those affected me, I guess that means they are still very, very good.
Both are lovely books.
