Commentary Epithetical Books A Woman of the Iron People (Woman of the Iron People #1-2)

Tiptree Award 1991.I had abandoned my desire to read all the Tiptree Award winners after I read a couple books I hated. But, somehow! this book got downloaded onto my kindle. :) Thank goodness: I loved reading this book. Anyway. Yeah, the language of the story is really dry and "matter of fact". I liked this, and it really worked for this story. This is the first book I've read by Arnason, and I have to wonder if this is her normal story-telling style or if it was just for this book. Will have

A novel of first contact, only reversed, with humans encountering pre-technological aliens on the planet their starship has arrived at. Arnason does a good job depicting both the human society and the alien one (or ones, as there is clearly a lot of heterogeneity among the various nomadic or semi-nomadic groups we encounter), and the difficulties they have in understanding each other. She does best, though, in depicting the difficulties the humans have in understanding each other, and their

Lixia has just landed on an alien planet. Humanity have come exploring the stars, with high-minded ideals, and rules about what action should be taken depending on how advanced the peoples they meet are.Nia has grown up among the Iron People. Her mother died when she was young so she went to live with one of her mothers sisters. She has always felt a little different from the other women of her village.And I really dont want to say much more about the plot. Suffice to say it is a first contact

I think I picked this up as part of a Humble Bundle bundle. I ran across it as part of a group of ebooks on my PC and started reading it. The story itself could be interesting, but ... it's just not. I'm on page (according to my ereader) 1154 of 1334 and I think I'm just done. It has been a slog. There hasn't really been a "hook" that's kept me reading other than "well, is something going to happen? Sometime?" Which is thoroughly disappointing. That's not the only problem, though. The other

This book is 25 years old as I write this review, and it recalls the sort of anthropological science fiction that was just beginning to be popular in the 90's. It actually holds up fairly well when it comes to playing with tropes about research ships and encountering alien populations. Why didn't I rate it higher?First, the author commits the sin of having her anthropologist character make all sorts of assumptions about the aliens she encounters. She assumes that they have two genders. She

Reto 27: Un libro ambientado en otro planeta.This is a First Contact story. With furry hominid aliens.The alien society portrayed here is of the matriarchal variety. Pre-industrial. The females live generally in nomadic villages , they grew vegetables, take care of the children, tan skins, cure, knit, and are the shamaness and smiths. The males are encouraged and expected to leave after puberty, where they live in the wild , hunting alone, herding animals, guarding territories if strong , and

I like anthropological SF and first-contact SF and I generally like Tiptree Award winners, so this book has been on my to-read list for a while, but on the whole I don't think it lived up to the hype for me. I liked Nia and Lixia but I could not stand Derek so that made reading large chunks of the book an annoying experience. Also I really didn't like pretty much anything that happened in the last quarter of the book, with the spaceship; mostly I just wanted it to go back to them all wandering
