In Moonbound, did you enjoy ...

... a hopeful and optimistic tone?

A Psalm For The Wild Built by Becky Chambers

If you loved the gentle, optimistic spirit that suffuses Moonbound, you'll adore A Psalm for the Wild-Built. Follow Sibling Dex and the tea-serving robot Mosscap as they journey through a lush world recovering from the past, asking big questions about purpose and happiness but never losing hope or warmth.

... detailed worldbuilding?

The Book of M by Peng Shepherd

If you were drawn to the rich, inventive setting of Moonbound—from its reimagined moon to its future Earth—The Book of M will captivate you with its haunting vision of a world where people lose their shadows (and memories), leading to new societies and mythologies. Shepherd’s world is as strange and vivid as it is unforgettable.

... an ensemble cast?

The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

If you enjoyed the camaraderie and interplay between Moonbound’s diverse cast—each with their quirks and motivations—The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet offers a vibrant crew of spacefarers whose relationships and banter are just as memorable. You’ll find yourself rooting for every member of the Wayfarer.

... strong character growth?

The Gone-Away Place by Christopher Barzak

If you admired how Robin Sloan’s characters evolve in Moonbound, you’ll appreciate The Gone-Away Place, where Lucy must navigate grief and transformation in the aftermath of a disaster. Her journey toward healing and maturity is intimate, genuine, and deeply affecting.

... humor and wit?

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

If the clever, sly humor in Moonbound made you smile, All Systems Red—with its dryly sarcastic Murderbot—is a perfect fit. The protagonist’s internal commentary and awkward attempts at social interaction deliver a sharp, witty edge to a fast-paced sci-fi tale.
