   Finished "A Prayer for the Crown-Shy" by Becky Chambers. It's the second book in the "Monk & Robot" series.

   The series is ostensibly about a robot delegate returning from self-exile in the wilderness to learn what it is humans need.

   However, it's really an exploration of what it means to not know, to feel lost, to struggle to find a purpose. And Chambers does so well, as always, to write wonderfully unique but complementary characters.

   4/5 stars #bookstodon
