Recent Reads: Helliconia Spring by Brian Aldiss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a very different sci-fi book than I'm used to!
Other reviews mentioned that the planet Helliconia was the protagonist of the book, and that didn't make sense to me, until I had read the book for a while.
The book is looking down on the planet of Helliconia, and showing us the changes that happen to the planet over the years, and so we see different people in power, different races, and we're reminded all the time that every action has an impact on the future, and sometimes it takes us on a brief venture into that future, and tells us what happens, but then it might go back to the 'present', or we might have moved a couple of generations.
