Review of 'Changing Planes' on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

A set of short stories with a very charming framing story that feels almost Terry Pratchett esque. The stories are sometimes feel a little less nuanced than what I expect from LeGuin. Despite that it's a fascinating box of thought experiments, with gripping imagery that will keep bouncing around in my head a while yet.

My favorite track off this album: The Building.

Review of 'Changing Planes' on 'LibraryThing'

4 stars

This was a fun book. The premise really was just "How far can I run with a pun on changing airplanes vs astral planes?", but that served as a nice springboard for a series of vignettes of alternate worlds. Some were clearly commentary on this plane, others just seemed like an exploration of a little idea, and the whole book is breezily written - light reading that's worth taking time over.
