ralyto 's review for:
Rocannon's World
by Ursula K. Le Guin
It was an easy read, but I was disappointed. I guess Le Guin grew a lot as a writer after this first novel.
There were a lot of ideas here jumbled up. While there were some sci-fi elements, this is essentially a fantasy story (with knights, adventures, ferries and magic). Noone of the characters felt deep enough to make it worthwhile to overlook the storyline with overused bland tropes (the stakes didn't feel real for me). But who knows, maybe they weren't overused at the time this was written.
