A review by medea_jade
Helliconia Spring by Brian W. Aldiss

5.0

I have read this book three times now and I find it more and more compelling each time I read it. I have never found another scifi novel like it. I wish I could find more of Aldiss' work. This can be a tough read. It's got an unusual style of writing and it can take some time to get into, but I would encourage the reader to stick with it. It's a fascinating and richly imagined world and this books reveals only a few of its secrets and hints at many more. I would also suggest that the reader look up some explanations of the planet and its solar system. It can be a little challenging to follow at times and it helps to visualize it.
