A Psalm for the Wild-Built follows Dex, a tea monk that travels and helps people by bring there and listing. He has started to feel like that they are stuck and decides to travel into the wilderness to try and find purpose again. While there he meets the Robot named Mosscap. Mosscap has been sent on a journey from the other robots to find out what do humans need since humans and robots haven’t been around each other for centuries. They travel together and this allows them to help each other out and Dex is starting to understand what he wants to do in the future.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy is set immediately after the events of A Psalm for the Wild-Built. We follow Dex and Mosscap as they travel to different cities so that Mosscap can learn about humanity and what humans need. This story focuses on the idea that if you have enough or are content do you really need or want more. I love Dex and Mosscap’s relationship and how they are learning from each other. Becky Chambers writes very hopeful books and while I can see where this series could go it also works by ending here.
