bedtimesnack 's review for:
Planet of Exile
by Ursula K. Le Guin
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
World building is great but women characters are flat, aligning too closely with the submissive native woman stereotype. Male protagonist has very little characterization going for him either. Reversing skin tones and power structures doesn't erase the Pocahontas vibes this one gave me.
