jessiemessy 's review for:

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
3.25
adventurous reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This book was very interesting in it's ideas but I didn't find it gripping or moving. I was less interested in the political intrigue and cold war vibes than the relationship between the two main characters, and I found the latter lacking. I expected something more from this book.
