Will Sargent reviewed The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson
Review of 'The Color of Distance' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
Read this book several years ago. It's an okay book, but highly derivative of early Alan Dean Foster. The ecology review is better, but the aliens are really "just like us" only "living in harmony with their environment" which at this point puts it between Avatar, Ferngully and Dances With Wolves as the most overused plot point ever.
