A review by leonietjeuh
Planet of Exile by Ursula K. Le Guin

3.0

Despite a promising setting, this story was not too intriguing for me, and its execution fell flat. I would've liked to read more about these long winters and the future of the humans and the hilfs on this planet; instead we got the plot with the gaal and its one battle, which were anticlimactic. As in Rocannon's World, the concept of mindspeech is again underdeveloped, not really used, and would have way more consequences for a society than was shown.

The prose was, as usual for LeGuin, very beautiful and made it an easy and enjoyable read for me despite not being very satisfied with the plot.
