A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

“You don't have to have a reason to be tired. You don't have to earn rest or comfort. You're allowed to just be.”

These books are such a delight! They feel just like a strong and warm hug. This one is dedicated to anybody who doesn't know where they're going, and it's just perfect.

There is so much love and joy on this book! We keep following sibling Dex and Mosscap journey, now to find answers to the robot's question: “What do humans need?”
I loved this one more than the first because we have Mosscap from the beginning, and nothing beats his excitement with the world:

”I've never seen a sign this legible before,” it called back. “And it's so glossy.”“A map, a note, and a pocket computer,” Mosscap said reverently. “That's three belongings.” It laughed. “I'll need my own wagon, at this rate.” Mosscap stopped laughing, and looked at Dex with the utmost seriousness. “Could I really?” it said quietly. “Could I have a satchel?”

I love that the story is happening in a post apocalyptic future, where the world and humanity are healed and you feel mostly kindness. I wish we can evolve to be as kind and understanding as everyone in this book.

A new favorite!
