Planet of Exile

This is Le Guin's second published novel and the second in the Hainish Cycle. It's a short easy read. It's also the first book that feels like her prose has come together for her. I didn't care so much for her prose in her first book, but this one felt like a Le Guin novel. I also found the ending in this book to be a little flat, ending abruptly. However, my overall reaction to the book is much more positive, with the plot and the prose working to create a decent novel.
