Three remarkable journeys into the stars

Worlds of Exile and Illusion includes Rocannon's World, Planet of Exile, and City of Illusions.

These three spacefaring adventures mark the beginning of grand master Ursula K. Le Guin’s remarkable career. Set in the same universe as Le Guin’s groundbreaking classics The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, these first three books of the celebrated Hainish series follow travelers of many worlds and civilizations in the depths of space.

The novels collected here are the first three ever published by Le Guin, a frequent winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards and one of the greatest science fiction and fantasy writers of all time.

“What an immense imagination, what a strong and trenchant mind.”—Margaret Atwood

I have known for years that Ursula K. Le Guin is a highly regarded science fiction and fantasy writer. But I just haven't gotten around to listening or reading one of her books. These three stories are the first that I have read or listened to, and I found them absolutely outstanding. She is able to create a tone in her stories which is marvelously engaging. Although a lot of very outlandish things happen, as often does in science fiction, the stories unfold in a plausible way. I enjoyed them very much.

My First Stories by Ursula K. Le Guin.

As all great fiction does, these books reflect the eternality of life and the human condition. How can one know what one should do? How one shoukd act? When met with adversity will you overcome it, survive it? What of your friends and loved ones? In a grand winding tale of a war beyond comprehension, won as it is lost, Leguin carves a tale from the cosmos which brings high fantasy to science fiction, and peoplehood to many worlds.

Also in Chapter 9 of City of Illusion there is a remnant narrator comment that didn't get edited out.

Tao in SciFi

LeGuin makes sense of our existence through storytelling. She says it clearly in her preface to The Left Hand of Darkness. The artist creates a lie to reveal the truth.

The overarching integrity of three tales into one story.

This story is unique in its own right. Somehow the author found a way of combining mid-evil concepts with futuristic fantasy.

This was a most wonderful trilogy of well written and beautifully told stories with rich language, splendid pacing, and well-formed characters. Bravo!

Well and Beautifully Told

While the narrator excels at dialogue, their delivery of the descriptive prose makes it difficult to stay engaged. Without peaks and valleys in the delivery, the narration becomes a hypnotic drone that is easy to tune out. This is because the performance suffers from a lack of prosody—the natural rise and fall of speech. This constant, unvarying intensity ultimately flattens the emotional landscape of the prose, making it hard to distinguish between minor details and major plot points.

Narration is overly dramatic
