Vaster Than Empires and More Slow by Ursula K. Le Guin

4.0

A colony scout ship story. Normally I'd expect a carefully chosen crew that would somehow integrate well together. In this book it is almost the opposite, a band of misfits that could never integrate. And a world with a sentient plant network maybe? Reads as real science fiction, but prettier, but not in a way that put me to sleep. I wish it had gone just a little deeper into the characters. But a very different kind of empathy.
