lepus13 's review for:
Rocannon's World
by Ursula K. Le Guin
A somewhat paint by numbers fantasy story with a coat of very sheer sci-fi paint, I found symilar issue with this as with Farthest shore, it's a disjointed kinda forgettable meandering journey until you get to the point, but I do think the ending is very successful.
Her bending of traditional fantasy races is interesting even if the world feels shallow at times. The winged creatures in the latter part of the book were a highlight.
Not my first recommendation for leguin but it was nice to see where she started out, so much of what would one day make her great is still identifiable, her imagination and ability to write grounded people from disparate cultures is perticulaly impressive.
