corabookworm 's review for:

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers
4.5
lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A perfect sequel! We got to explore the world a little more and see the characters develop further. I still feel like the length is hindering this story: I would love to see some relationships explored more deeply, more exploration of the world, and a “conclusion” to the characters’ arcs. It still feels like they’re dealing with the same problems they have since the beginning of book one, and while they talk about it a lot, they haven’t come to any real revelations or changes. Which is, maybe, realistic? But I just want MORE from these books, which I can’t really get out of 150 pages :(
