City of Illusionsβ β β β β
Ursula K. Le Guin How can you be yourself when you donβt know who you really are? A story of isolation, adaptation, kindness, cruelty, trust and hope, and above all, how to piece together the truth (or at least pick out the lies) on a future, depopulated Earth.
The Daughter of Odrenβ β β β β
Ursula K. Le Guin A small, stand-alone tale set in Earthsea, reminiscent of the folk tales glimpsed throughout the series. Betrayal, revenge, kindness, and power - and just living.
Overgrowthβ β β ββ
Mira Grant Invasion of the Body Snatchers from the POV of an alien plant person who grew up human. Now the invasion has started, and sheβs sorting out friends, family, and who she can trust from either planet.
Worlds of Exile and Illusionβ β β β β
Ursula K. Le Guin Interesting to see Le Guin as sheβs developing her craft. Not the best place to start with her work, but absolutely worth reading.
