A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers
3.5

Actual rating: 3.5

While I loved the first Monk and Robot, this one made me left wanting more. I think the departure of the structure from the first book to what felt like six small philosophical short stories really detracted from my overall enjoyment of the book.

What was once a flowing story felt like I was jumping around with no real end goal. The end even felt flat. Where Wind Swept made me feel emotional Crown-Shy made me feel glad it was over.
