Ursula K Le Guin - Rocannon's World - 7

Post by clong »

Rocannon's World

This is an odd little book, but I liked it. While clearly set in a science fiction setting (Le Guin's Hainish universe), complete with aliens, interstellar war, ansibles, time dilation, etc., it reads much more like high fantasy, complete with elves, dwarves, jewels, and a dark quest undertaken with slim chances of success. Don't expect a particularly believable ecosystem or much depth of characterization, but if you're in the mood for an entertaining quick read, give it a try.
