A review by qalminator
Planet of Exile by Ursula K. Le Guin
3.0
Enjoyable, though I liked both Rocannon's World and City of Lies better. I have to admit that certain details in City of Lies would have made more sense, had I read this one first, but those details are really only hinted at here.
This is the first of the Hainish Cycle books I've read to not have a huge trek across a wilderness in it, at least by any of the MCs. Not complaining, just mildly surprised. Still, the Gaal made a rather huge trek; they just weren't POV characters.
As for the narration, it was ... okay. Nothing particularly special, but no egregious problems, either. I am pretty much neutral to the two narrators at this point.
