slow-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
1.0
miserable, bigoted, and unimaginative. this book is throughly uninteresting beyond its applications of scientific imagination and even those are delivered so dully that it’s impossible to care.
“she must’ve had a doctorate in prostitution” about one of 2 female characters in the entire book. the other’s story is completely revolved around her having no agency. how creative.
Ursula K. Le Guin wrote circles around this garbage please go read her books instead.

defcon's review against another edition
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
There is no reason to read this book in the 21st century (or beyond). SFF has come so far, society has come so far.
