mysteriousnorse 's review for:
Rocannon's World
by Ursula K. Le Guin
4.5 Stars
What a beautiful epic tale told in so few pages. I am rather astonished by how much I was into this. I'm starting the Hainish Cycle, which has been on my list since I read [b:The Left Hand of Darkness|18423|The Left Hand of Darkness (Hainish Cycle, #4)|Ursula K. Le Guin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1488213612l/18423._SY75_.jpg|817527] for the first time. This is a great start and is more the blend of Science Fiction and Fantasy that I wanted from the Darkover series. Not to put that series down, but it's love at first (well, second... well, first too) sight with this series. The idea of the damage that higher technology can have on lower tech cultures is well realized, and the fantasy elements are well-realized and in the best lineage of Tolkien.
