A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

[psocoptera]

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy, Becky Chambers, 2022. Sequel novella to A Psalm for the Wild-Built, which I talked about here. I really enjoyed a bunch of things about this and yet I cannot say that it is a story in very much *happens*, and the project that I found interesting in the first one ("what kind of stories can be set in the better world") felt less interesting this time around. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for feelgood, I had an exhausting week (jury duty!) and the day I read this it was nice to read something nice. Just if we back-to-back give it the novella Hugo I'm going to roll my eyes so much. (So I guess I should get going finding five better novellas to nominate...)
