tallyfire 's review for:

Rocannon's World by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.0
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A Starlord must journey across a planet with primitive technology in order to save the planet’s inhabitants. A curious mix of sci-fi anthropology and planetary mythology.

Le Guin’s writing manages to be so tight and so expressive at the same time. It’s always a joy to read. Not much happens in this book, but Rocannon’s World an interesting place to inhabit for a while with interesting characters.
