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

4.0

Another great tale from Ursula Le Guin's Hainish Cycle. A group of Terrans are trapped upon Werel, a faraway planet, and they have lost contact with the League of All Worlds. They must accept that Werel is now their home, but that presents its own challenges--there is cyclical conflict between the two main groups of native HILFs (high-intelligence life forms), and the Terrans are losing their ability to reproduce. Their survival will require that they make alliances, and maybe even break some of the sacrosanct League laws.

An adventure story. A love story. Read this before City of Illusions, but read them both!!
