A review by cthib9
Planet of Exile by Ursula K. Le Guin
3.0
Opposing factions united against a common enemy. Classic.
This book got me thinking about storytelling with huge battles - how can you lead up to a climactic battle without sucking the plot dry by the time you get there?
This book was average in that regard: we still felt some emotional connections to new allies and longtime lovers.
We knew war was coming. But like many stories I've read before, the heavy action halted all character growth. I think the Earthsea series overcame this, but the "battles" were smaller scale.
I know there is a way, but I need to seek out more literary examples to articulate what I'm talking about. Stay tuned.
