destrier 's review for:

Rocannon's World by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.0

This starts very slowly and then becomes hard to put down. It fills in the back story on the Hainish cycle of space sociologists. Like the others in the series, it helps you consider fine points of your own culture by considering worlds in which they are absent from the local culture.

If you like books at all, then you're morally required to read the masterpiece [b: The Left Hand of Darkness|18423|The Left Hand of Darkness (Hainish Cycle, #4)|Ursula K. Le Guin|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388229638s/18423.jpg|817527] (#4 in this series), so you might as well start here at #1.
