Rocannon's World by Ursula K. Le Guin
3.0

I enjoyed the book and it shows early signs of the things I really enjoy in Le Guin's later works. The narrative is a little patchy and disjointed, which it seems Le Guin uses in her more critically acclaimed writing as a neat device, but in this---well, it sort of comes off as incomplete. Still, the meld of fantasy and sci-fi elements was interesting and illuminating and made the world seem real and lived-in. It's definitely worth a read, but not her best work.
