Changing Planes: Stories by Ursula K. Le Guin

After Becky Chambers recommended this book in multiple author events, I had to check it out. The premise was delightful and I really enjoyed reading about many of the worlds explored, even if some were a bit disturbing.  The Seasons of the Ansarac was hands down my favorite - I want to live on this plane! One of my few complaints is that I wish there had been slightly more of an exploration of gender in this book, as I found it unbelievable that every plane explored actually subscribed to cultural notions of male and female, nonetheless ones that mirror our own. That aside, this book was super unique and enjoyable, and I’m always glad to have read more Le Guin!
